Agrippina the Elder (-14-33)

"Vipsania Agrippina (also, in Latin, Agrippina Germanici, "Germanicus' Agrippina"; c. 14 BC – AD 33), commonly referred to as Agrippina the Elder, was a prominent member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. She was the daughter of Marcus Agrippa (who was a close supporter of Rome's first emperor, Augustus) and Augustus' daughter, Julia the Elder. At the time of her birth, her brothers, Lucius and Gaius, were the adoptive sons of Augustus, and were his heirs until their deaths in AD 2 and 4, respectively. Following their deaths, her cousin Germanicus was made the adoptive son of Tiberius as part of Augustus' succession scheme in the adoptions of AD 4 (in which Tiberius was adopted by Augustus). As a result of the adoption, Agrippina was wed to Germanicus in order to bring him closer to the Julian family." - (en.wikipedia.org 10.08.2021)
