  Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus by *Lord-of-the-Whelps on deviantART
Germanicus was the grandson of emperor Augustus’ wife Livia and the grandson of Mark Antony, while Agrippina, or Agrippina the Elder as she was more commonly known was the granddaughter of emperor Augustus himself.
A legion commander, Gnaeus Lentulus Gaeluticus, claimed that Caligula was born in Tibur, however the Gaius born in Tibur was in fact the first of Germanicus’ sons, and not the future emperor in question.
Germanicus died in suspicious circumstances in 19 AD, and the tensions related to this event irreparably deteriorated relations between Agrippina the Elder and the then-emperor, Tiberius.
