Basics

Life & Times

Marcus Agrippa Postumus (12 BC – AD 14), later named Agrippa Julius Caesar, was a Roman
nobleman who was the youngest son of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia the Elder, the
daughter and only biological child of the Roman Emperor Augustus. Augustus initially
considered Postumus as a potential successor and formally adopted him as his heir, but
banished him from Rome in AD 6 on account of his ferocia ("beastly nature"). In effect
(though not in law), this action cancelled his adoption and virtually assured Tiberius'
emplacement as Augustus' sole heir. Postumus was ultimately executed by his own guards
shortly after Augustus' death in AD 14.
