Tiberius the Tyrant

by John Charles Tarver

Julia II married an Æmilius Paullus, but was banished like her mother for similar reasons.

Agrippina I married Germanicus.

Agrippa Postumus, the intractable, was banished by Augustus, and put out of the way at the accession of Tiberius; by whose orders is not definitely certain.

Through Agrippina the obscure Agrippa was the grandfather of one Emperor, Caligula, and the great grandfather of another, Nero.
