The very talented and ambitious Agrippa held high state positions at a young age. In his lightning career, he won important victories at the age of 27 as fleet chief for his closest friend Augustus. In the year 21 B.C. He married Julia, daughter of Augustus, who then declared him his co-regent and successor. Through his designated buildings - e.g. B. water pipes and thermal baths - Agrippa contributed significantly to the infrastructure of ancient Rome. The Pantheon in Rome is still admired today. At the age of only 51, he died due to an injury, a well-respected man in Campania.
