Her family background is the most confusing part!!! she has a brother named caligula who made a horse senator...she married her uncle....slept with her brother and her son....oh and also a freedman, she also had many a person killed...its a bit incesty but its very interesting once u get past the confusion that is

Whats so confusing?

Her mother was Agrippina the Elder, who was the daughter of Marcus Agrippa and Julia, Augustus' daughter. Agrippina I had three brothers, Gaius and Lucius Caesar, Agrippa Postumus, and one sister. Agrippina the Younger had Gaius (Caligula) and Nero as brothers. Two sisters: Drussila and Julia Livilla.

Her father was Germanicus, son of Drusus the Elder. This Drusus the Elder married Antonia the Elder, and was the brother of Tiberius. Tiberius and Drusus the Elder was the son of Livia (Augusta) and Tiberius Claudius Nero. This Livia then married Augustus.

Hey thanks harimau, I'll look up those books, cause I agree, Antiquities is crap. And I dunno, I'm a big of a nerd, but I like getting a head start, cause we go so slowly in class, and are always working up until the lesson just before exams.

So thanks!

ok maybe you didnt find it confusing, my teacher made it confusing, not on purpose im sure but it just didnt make sense she jumped from topic to topic and didnt really connect it. she'd tell us all of this stuff that confused the hell out of us and then in the end was like and this ifs linked to that and expect us to be like ooooo wow and we had no idea what had just happened. so yes i found it confusing.

Our teacher drilled it into us for one whole term... Once he tells us something, he will quiz us randomly every single lesson afterwards... and if you dont know, you get shouted at... Its a good incentive to learn.
