Roman general. He was the adopted son of the
emperor Tiberius and married the emperor
Augustus' granddaughter Agrippina. Although
he refused the suggestion of his troops that
he claim the throne on the death of Augustus,
his military victories in Germany made
Tiberius jealous. Sent to the East, he died
near Antioch, possibly murdered at the
instigation of Tiberius. He was the father of
Caligula, and of Agrippina, mother of Nero.
