Kdo se je poročil s Julia the Elder?

Julia the Elder (30 October 39 BC – AD 14), known to her contemporaries as Julia Caesaris filia or Julia Augusti filia (Classical Latin: IVLIA•CAESARIS•FILIA or IVLIA•AVGVSTI•FILIA), was the daughter and only surviving biological child of Augustus, the first Roman emperor, and his second wife, Scribonia. Julia was also stepsister and second wife of the Emperor Tiberius; maternal grandmother of the Emperor Caligula and the Empress Agrippina the Younger; grandmother-in-law of the Emperor Claudius; and maternal great-grandmother of the Emperor Nero. Her epithet "the Elder" distinguishes her from her daughter, Julia the Younger.

Marcus Claudius Marcellus (42–23 BC) was the eldest son of Gaius Claudius Marcellus and Octavia the Younger, sister of Augustus (then known as Octavian). He was Augustus' nephew and closest male relative, and began to enjoy an accelerated political career as a result. He was educated with his cousin Tiberius and traveled with him to Hispania where they served under Augustus in the Cantabrian Wars. In 25 BC he returned to Rome where he married his cousin Julia, who was the emperor's daughter. Marcellus and Augustus' general Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa were the two popular choices as heir to the empire. According to Suetonius, this put Agrippa at odds with Marcellus, and is the reason why Agrippa traveled away from Rome to Mytilene in 23 BC.

That year, an illness was spreading in Rome which afflicted both Augustus and Marcellus. Augustus caught it earlier in the year, while Marcellus caught it later, after the emperor had already recovered. The illness proved fatal and killed Marcellus at Baiae, in Campania, Italy. He would be the first member of the imperial family whose ashes were placed in the Mausoleum of Augustus. Despite dying at a young age, Marcellus' position led to his celebration by Sextus Propertius, as well as by Virgil in the Aeneid.

Márk Vipsánij Agrípa (Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa), tudi samo Agrípa, rimski vojskovodja, * okoli 63 pr. n. št., † 12 pr. n. št.

Iz njegovega zgodnjega življenja ni znano veliko. V času, ko je bil umorjen Gaj Julij Cezar (44 pr. n. št.), je bil spremljevalec Oktavijana (pozneje cesar Avgust) v Iliriji. Poročen je bil s hčerko Avgusta, Julijo. Kot zelo sposoben poveljnik se je boril z Lucijem Antonijem (41–40 pr. n. št.), Sekstom Pompejem (sinom Gneja Pompeja) in Markom Antonijem (31 pr. n. št. pomorska bitka). Leta 23 pr. n. št. ga je Avgust predvidel za svojega naslednjika. 18 pr. n. št. tribun leta 13 pr. n. št. ponovno izvoljen. Judom je priznal pravice. Dal je zgradit številne ceste v Galiji in panteon v Rimu ter zasnoval prvi sodobni zemljevid sveta.

Tibêrij Júlij Cézar Avgúst (latinsko Tiberius Iulius Caesar Augustus), rimski politik in cesar, * 16. november 42 pr. n. št.; vladal 14-37; † 16. marec 37 n. št., Misenum, Kampanija, Italija.

Tiberij je nasledil rimskega cesarja Avgusta, svojega adoptivnega očeta. Že ob svojem nastopu je moral zatreti vojaški upor v Panoniji. Uspešno je vzdrževal oblast nad ozemlji rimskega cesarstva in branil njegove zunanje meje. Tiberijev nečak in posvojenec Germanik je uspel osvojiti celotno Germanijo vse do reke Labe, vendar do priključitve ozemlja rimski državi ni prišlo.

Tiberijev značaj je bil hladen in zadržan: Plinij starejši je Tiberija označil za "najmračnejšega človeka" (tristissimus homo). Tiberijev odnos do senata in državne elite je postajal vedno bolj samodrški. Po smrti svojega sina Druza Julija Cezarja se je Tiberij umaknil na otok Capri ("nesokracija") in izvrševanje oblasti prepustil pretorijanskemu prefektu Sejanu. Sejan je začel odstranjevati sebi nasprotne člane dinastije in se pripravljati na dejanski prevzem prestola. Tiberij je še pravočasno umaknil na varno svojega naslednika Gaja Cezarja (kasnejšega cesarja Kaligulo), se vrnil v Rim in obračunal s Sajanom. Tiberija je po smrti nasledil Kaligula.

Tiberij je bil eden največjih rimskih generalov; njegovo osvajanje Panonije, Dalmacija, Retije in začasno dela Germanije so postavili temelje severne meje.
