 Roman Emperors - DIR Agrippina the Younger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Agrippina the Younger was the daughter of Germanicus Julius Caesar and of Vipsania Agrippina (Agrippina the Elder).
The anecdote in which she asks Gaius to choose a name for her newborn son, retrojected on to the narrative as it probably was, makes this point as clearly as any, for it indicates that ambition was the driving force of her entire adult life.
The message resurfaces in the accusations of her partnering with Aemilius Lepidus, her poisoning of Passienus Crispus, her seduction of Claudius and the manipulation of him in regard to the adoption of Nero and especially her poisoning him at the opportune moment.

 Eutropius: Abridgement of Roman History, Book 6
IN the consulate of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus and Quintus Catulus, after Sulla had composed the troubles of the state, new wars broke out; one in Spain, another in Pamphylia and Cilicia, a third in Macedonia, a fourth in Dalmatia.
About the same time, the consul Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, the colleague of Catulus, attempted to kindle a civil war; but in one summer that commotion was suppressed.
Many engagements took place, the last near the city of Munda, in which Caesar was so nearly defeated, that, upon his forces giving way, he felt inclined to kill himself, lest, after such great glory in war, he should fall, at the age of fifty-six, into the hands of young men.

 Antony and Cleopatra | Royal Shakespeare Company 2006
In 49 BC, Rome’s greatest general, Julius Caesar, launched a civil war that would ultimately result in his establishing a dictatorship amid the rubble of his city’s ancient constitution—and would give Cleopatra her first stab at restoring her family’s fortunes.
First she had herself smuggled into Caesar’s presence rolled up in a carpet; then she got herself pregnant by him; finally, with her brother defeated and killed, and herself securely upon Egypt’s throne, she followed Caesar to Rome.
Meanwhile, Rome herself was placed under martial law by a triumvirate of the three most prominent Caesarians: Mark Antony, a playboy general who combined flamboyant vulgarity with a no less flamboyant élan; Marcus Lepidus, who had served the murdered dictator as his official deputy; and a 20-year-old, the young Octavian, Caesar’s great-nephew and adopted heir.

Cassius wanted to kill him along with Caesar, but both Caesar and Antony were consuls in 44, and the killing of both consuls, as Brutus warned, might have been seen as a return to Sullan days of proscriptions and the assassination would have been very unpopular.
Antony, though, with the help and troop of Marcus Lepidus (who was the Master of Horse in Italy and thus had troops near Rome), made Caesar's will known to the public.
Meanwhile, Antony and Octavian were reconciled, and Lepidus hesitantly joined them in the Second Triumvirate - the first official triumvirate in which dictatorial power was wielded.
