Historical background
OCTAVIAN and AGRIPPA
(1st century BC)
Octave and Agrippa were both born in 63 BC and are childhood friends. From Caesar's death in 44 BC, Agrippa showed unwavering loyalty to the dictator's heir. He will be his general and admiral on the battlefields. He distinguished himself at Philippi in 42 BC before winning maritime successes at Nauloque against Sextus Pompey and at Actium against Antoine and Cleopatra. He is, after Octave, the most powerful man in the principate.
