Talk:Agrippina the Elder

Relations to the first Emperors
1. Agrippina was not the daughter-in-law of Tiberius. She was married to Germanicus, so she is the daughter-in-law of Drusus, Germanicus' father. 2. Since she was married to Tiberius' nephew Germanicus, she is the niece by marriage of Tiberius. 3. As the mother of Agrippina the Younger, she is the maternal grandmother of Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, the later Nero. 64.134.68.242 (talk)AW64.134.68.242 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:23, 15 June 2011 (UTC).

After examining the family tree, it does appear that Germanicus was adopted as Tiberius' heir, thus making Agrippina Tiberius' daughter-in-law via this adoption. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.68.242 (talk) 01:35, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

An amazing woman. She was ambitious for her children, loyal to her husband and gave Tiberius what he deserved, which was little sympathy. I think that Agrippina had a right to use her relation to Augustus the way she did, because she was very much like him. She was a strong woman and I admire her for how brave she was and how she stood up to Tiberius.

This article is badly written in places, making it a difficult read. Sharonmx5 (talk) 21:15, 3 October 2009 (UTC)


 * There is an error. Agrippina the Elder's son, Caligula, became Emperor. The article states that she did not have a son who became Emperor. Shan Dalamani (talk) 21:27, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Julia Vipsania Agrippina
As far as I know the full name of Agrippina the Elder was just Vipsania Agrippina. She had not name Julia, at least I did not find any book calling her Julia. As well she is not referred as "Julia Vipsania Agrippina" in Wikipedia articles on other languages. I am afraid we have some kind of confusion here. Could you please refer us to a proper source for this name before adding it to the article? Thanks --Mgar (talk) 20:00, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * As I see, no reference has been provided. So meantime I remove "Julia" from Agrippina the Elder's full name. If a source of "Julia" name will be found, we will discuss it. --Mgar (talk) 10:15, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

As I see, name Julia was added again with a link to a page on web site of Brooklyn Museum. Nevertheless, I still did not see any book or academic publication where Agrippina the Elder was called Julia. "The Dinner Party" page of Brooklyn Museum is a wiki itself (see ), and we do not know where an editor took this name from. It is even possible we have a circle reference here. --Mgar (talk) 13:04, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
