Lucius Vipsanius was the elder brother of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, the right-hand man of Roman emperor Augustus.
History
Early life
Lucius Vipsanius was born in the late Roman Republic to a plebeian family,[1][2] his father being Lucius Vipsanius and his mother an unknown woman. His praenomen is not actually known, but has been assumed to be Lucius, since he was older than Marcus, and first sons were generally given their fathers' praenomen in Rome.[3] He and Agrippa likely spent their childhood playing with each other until Lucius was old enough to go to school.[4] Since Lucius became a soldier his education likely took him away from home rather young. He also had a sister named Vipsania Polla, it's not known if she was younger or older than him.[5]
Career
During
Later life
Lucius appears to have been alive later on in his brother's career as he was involved in some type of affair which his brother refused to influence with his authority when a consul asked for his opinion on the matter.[11][12]
