	Roman Emperors - DIR Agrippina the Younger
		Agrippina the Younger was the daughter of Germanicus Julius Caesar and of Vipsania Agrippina (Agrippina the Elder).
		Agrippina attained the long-coveted position of imperial wife, and Claudius was able to keep the daughter of his still popular brother Germanicus from marrying someone else and so legitimating a potential rival with her family connection.
		Agrippina was thought to have manipulated her husband so that he adopted Nero just as she had arranged his marriage with Octavia, since it moved her son to the head of the line for succession.

	Feminae Romanae: The Women of Ancient Rome
		Tacitus' magnificent histories of the period are a primary source for our knowledge of the unfortunate Agrippina the Elder (daughter of Agrippa and granddaughter of Augustus) and her daughter, Agrippina the Younger.
		The story of the younger Agrippina has often been told as a cautionary tale, from her supposed murder of the Emperor husband, Claudius, to her eventual murder by her Emperor son, Nero.
		Agrippina is significant not only by her active participation in her husband's career but by her willingness to assume a leading role after his death for those who opposed the political acts of Sejanus and Tiberius.

		She, too, gathered about her, as the elder Julia had done, a court of elegant youths, men of letters, and poets,--Ovid was of the number,--and with this group she hoped to be able to hold the balance of power in the government against that coterie of aged senators who paid court to Livia.
		Agrippina was not evil; she was ambitious, violent, intriguing, imprudent, and thoughtless, and therefore could easily adapt her own feelings and interests to what seemed expedient.
		Furthermore, Agrippina was the least intelligent of the women of the family, and her senseless opposition could be tolerated as long as Livia and Antonia, the two really serious ladies of the family, sided with Tiberius.

		Agrippina's description of herself as a living statue, born of divine blood is very striking, particularly when coupled with the phrase 'ad cultum delegerit' which is how she describes her friendship with Pulchra.

		Agrippina appears to have been just as ambitious and ruthless as the men who surrounded her, but she was easily twice as effective.

		In the 1st century the area - which lies across the Tiber from the city centre - was dominated by Agrippina's extensive villa and gardens and the adjoining racecourse, which became the bloodstained circus where Agrippina's son Caligula and her grandson Nero had their enemies put to death.

		Out of two cornucopia sprout four portraits in symmetry: left, the Emperor Claudius and his spouse Agrippina the Younger; opposite them, Germanicus and his wife Agrippina the Elder, the rulers parents-in-law.
		The year 49 A. saw the beginning of Claudius fourth marriage and great hope was being placed in Agrippina the Younger, here represented as Cybele, the goddess of fertility, to provide the drastic change for the better which was so desperately needed after the murder of Messalina.
		It is possible that the stone is thus an official marriage gift to the imperial couple, for at this point nobody could suspect that the installation of this domineering and scheming woman as Augusta and the adoption of her son Nero as future emperor would have such disastrous consequences for both Claudius and the state.
