The authoritative biography of the ancient Roman general and loyal deputy to Emperor Augustus by the acclaimed historian and author of Augustus at War. When Gaius Octavius became the first emperor of Rome, Marcus Agrippa was by his side. As the emperor’s loyal deputy, he waged wars, pacified provinces, beautified Rome, and played a crucial role in establishing the Pax Romana—but he always served knowing that he would never rule in his own name. Why he did so, and never grasped power for himself, has perplexed historians for centuries. In this authoritative biography, historian Lindsay Powell offers a penetrating new assessment of Agrippa’s life and achievements. Following Caesar’s assassination, Agrippa was instrumental in asserting the rights of his friend Gaius Octavius as the dictator’s heir, seeing him crowned Emperor Augustus. Agrippa then established a reputation as a bold admiral, defeating Marcus Antonius and Queen Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium, and ending bloody rebellions in the Cimmerian Bosporus, Gaul, Hispania, and Illyricum. Agrippa was also an influential statesman and architect. He established the vital road network that turned Julius Caesar’s conquests into viable provinces, overhauled Rome’s drains and aqueducts, and built the original Pantheon. Marrying Augustus’s daughter, Julia the Elder, Agrippa became co-ruler of the Roman Empire until his death in 12 BC. His bloodline lived on in the imperial family, through Agrippina the Elder, his grandson Caligula, and great-grandson Nero.

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject World History - Early and Ancient History, grade: 2,7, University of Erfurt, language: English, abstract: The center of attention is, with regards to this seminar paper, the relation between Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Augustus. The paper is especially focused on their long and intimate fellowship. To illustrate the statement that neither one of them would have won fame, in exactly the same way as it took place, is the main objective of this work because it clarifies their close connectedness and dependency. This seminar paper starts with a consideration of historical researches on Agrippa by selected historians. Agrippa appeared most often on the side of Augustus and so it is a matter of common knowledge that litera-ture about Augustus had a huge number whereas literature in respect of Agrippa was very contemplatively. Afterwards a reflection with specific aspects is joining the work for clarifying the connectedness between Agrippa and Augustus. The following key aspects like Agrippa and his self-understanding, gathering and contrariness among the two of them, Agrippa and his request as well as his road of life alongside Augustus and his funeral are entering the limelight.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 2,0, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Seine wohl bedeutsamsten Taten vollbrachte Marcus Agrippa als oberster Feldherr und Flottenkommandeur. Viele Schlachte (einige davon werden in dieser Arbeit dargestellt) konnte er durch seine besonderen Fähigkeiten für sich entscheiden. Die wohl bedeutsamste seiner Seeschlachten schlug er 32 v.Chr. bei Actium. Als Kommandeur der Seeflotte Octavians war der Sieg über die Flotten von Marcus Antonius und Kleopatra seinem Kommando zu verdanken. Im Zusammenhang mit dem Verlauf dieser Schlacht ist die Rolle Agrippas besonders interessant. Obwohl die Protagonisten Octavian, der spätere Kaiser Augustus, und Marcus Antonius, der Besetzer des Ostens und Geliebter der ägyptischen Königin Kleopatra, anwesend waren, kämpfte Agrippa mit seinem Flottenverband gegen diesen Marcus Antonius5. Dieses Geschehen erscheint auf den ersten Blick doch sehr irritierend. Aus welchem Grund kämpften nun also nicht Octavian und Antonius gegeneinander? Sah Antonius Agrippa wohlmöglich also gefährlicher an? Woher rührte dieser ersichtliche Vorrang Antonius‘ für Agrippa? Diese Fragen werden im Verlauf dieser Arbeit untersucht und beantwortet. Als Hauptquellen sollen hierfür die Schriften von Cassius Dio, Plutarch und Appian genutzt werden. Literarisch hat sich vor allem Johannes Kromayer schon Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts dezidiert mit der Schlacht auseinandergesetzt. Diese Inhalte hat Dewid Laspe genutzt und an den Geschehnissen der Seeschlacht weiter erforscht. Mit den Taten des Agrippa hat sich vor allem Reinhold genau befasst, wodurch seine Werk für diese Ausarbeitung sehr wertvoll ist. Inhaltlich geht es anfangs um die Darstellung der Person Marcus Agrippa und die Zeit vor der Schlacht. Anschließend wird die Rolle Agrippas innerhalb Streitigkeiten zwischen Antonius und Octavian beleuchtet. Da die Schlacht bei Actium in Kern dieser Ausarbeitung steht, wird sie anschließend mit Vorbereitung, Durchführung und Folgen näher erläutert.
