8 AD | Julia the Younger: Daughter of a Fallen House

[@MatthewLum11]

Court intrigue is of course, on the rise, now that Roman democracy has been supressed so completely by Augustus. ⚔️

As far as I’m concerned, Agrippa was the first true Emperor or Rome. Octavian would’ve never made without, Marcus. Julius Caesar knew this.

​​Why did the poor like the Julia so much?

[@geordiejones5618]

I mean that kinda thing is as old as Marius's wife, and probably goes back to the Punic Wars or at least the early Late Republic with women having significant social influence. Women in proximity to powerful men were considered special it seems.

She likely managed Agrippa's household and thus some influence and responsibility in meeting with Agrippa's clients.

O femeie stricată și proastă,cum au fost toate soțiile și femeile din Roma antică! Femeile din Italia și Roma antică, trăiau pentru sex și viață în lux, în umbra bărbaților și nu aveau un loc al lor în societate!Bietul Agrippa,nu a greșit cu nimic să aibă o asemenea destrăbălată pe post de sotie!

​@@MCAPrinceIt could be that she performed a lot of charity work.
