Agrippina Senior, Died 33 A.D., Wife of Germanicus, Mother of Caligula and Agrippina Jr.
|Agrippina| |Sr.|, |Agrippina| |Senior,| |Died| |33| |A.D.,| |Wife| |of| |Germanicus,| |Mother| |of| |Caligula| |and| |Agrippina| |Jr.|, "VIPSANIA AGRIPPINA, born in 15 BC to Agrippa and Julia, Augustus' daughter, married Germanicus, the son of Nero Claudius Drusus and Antonia, in 5 AD. They had nine children, of whom six survived to adulthood (Nero Caesar, Drusus Caesar, Caligula, Agrippina Jr., Julia, and Drusilla). Germanicus was an extremely popular military figure, but he mysteriously died at Syrian Antioch in 19, believing he had been poisoned on order of Tiberius. Agrippina returned to Rome and blamed Tiberius, and a long "cold war" began. She was finally exiled to the island of Pandateria in 29, where she was starved to death in 33." - Moneta Historical Reference
