Ah, Ancient Rome, the birthplace of drama! It seems like every day, something new is happening in the court of the Roman emperor that could be straight out of a soap opera. From love triangles to family feuds, there's never a dull moment!
August, 27 BC
Today in the court of Augustus, the first Roman emperor, we have a scandal brewing within the royal family. Augustus' daughter, Julia, is said to have been caught in a love triangle with Marcus Vinicius, a Roman nobleman, and Augustus' close friend, Marcus Agrippa.
The emperor is said to be "furious" with Julia's behavior and has ordered her to be banished to the island of Pandateria. It is said that she will never be allowed to return to Rome and will remain in exile until her death.
November, 23 BC
It looks like the drama is still going strong in the court of Augustus. This time, it's Augustus' grandson, Lucius, who is at the center of the controversy.
Reports are circulating that Lucius, the son of Augustus' daughter, Julia, and Marcus Agrippa is planning to marry his step-sister, Julia Livilla. This would be a huge scandal in the Roman court and would be seen as a huge insult to Augustus, as it would be a violation of the ancient Roman law of incest.
Augustus is said to be "extremely angry" with Lucius and has threatened to disinherit him if he goes through with the marriage.
April, 8 BC
It looks like the drama is coming to a head in the Roman court. Reports are saying that Augustus has ordered the execution of Marcus Agrippa, the father of Lucius and Julia's son.
The emperor is said to have accused Agrippa of treason and has ordered him to be executed without a trial. Agrippa is said to have protested his innocence up until the very end, but it looks like his pleas have fallen on deaf ears.
The execution has been seen as a clear sign of Augustus' anger towards the Agrippa family and his desire to put an end to the royal drama once and for all.
It's been a wild ride here in ancient Rome, but it looks like the emperor has done enough to ensure that the royal drama is now over.
