Gaius Caesar (20 BC)
(Redirected from Gaius Vispanius Agrippa)
See also Gaius Caesar , for others of the same name.
Gaius Julius Caesar Vipsanianus (20 BC - 4 AD, born Gaius Vipsanius Agrippa and known as Gaius Caesar) was the son of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia Caesaris. He was adopted along with his brother Lucius when Agrippa died in 12 BC by their maternal grandfather, the Emperor Augustus Caesar, who named the two boys his heirs. Both were made consuls-designate and were feted as the "Princes of Youth" (principes iuventutis), with temples and statues erected in their honour (as in the case of the Maison Carrée in Nimes). However, Lucius died in 2 AD and Gaius died two years later at the age of 24, after being wounded while putting down a revolt in Lycia.
