Gaius Caesar, 20 B.C. - 21 Feb 4 A.D., Laodicea ad Lycus, Phrygia
|Laodicea| |ad| |Lycus|, |Gaius| |Caesar,| |20| |B.C.| |-| |21| |Feb| |4| |A.D.,| |Laodicea| |ad| |Lycus,| |Phrygia|, Gaius Caesar was the grandson of Augustus, the son of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia, Augustus' only daughter. Gaius and his younger brother, Lucius Caesar, were raised by their grandfather as his adopted sons and joint-heirs to the empire. Gaius experienced an accelerated political career with the Roman Senate allowing him to advance without first holding a quaestorship or praetorship, offices that ordinary senators were required to hold as part of the cursus honorum. In 1 B.C., Gaius was given command of the eastern provinces, after which he concluded a peace treaty with King Phraates V of Parthia on an island in the Euphrates. He was consul for the following year, 1 A.D. His brother Lucius died at Massilia 20 August 2 A.D. Approximately 18 months later, on 21 February 4 A.D., Gaius died of an illness in Lycia. Following the deaths of Gaius and Lucius, Augustus adopted his stepson, Tiberius, as well as his sole-surviving grandson, Agrippa Postumus.
