Before. Julia’s first husband Marcellus (Augustus’ nephew) has just died, supposedly poisoned by Livia. Agrippa is leaping in, offering himself as Augustus’ new son-in-law. Agrippa does marry Julia and they have five children. After Agrippa’s death, Augustus arranges another marriage for Julia, this time with Tiberius. It’s not a success, particularly as Tiberius has been forced to divorce his beloved wife Vipsania, Agrippa’s daughter from a former marriage. As the marriage of Tiberius and Julia sours, she seeks ‘solace’ elsewhere, leading to her scandalous behaviour and eventual banishment.
@@robertthomson1587 More like he's calculating the benefits and the inconveniences of Agrippa as a son-in-law versus his wife and Tiberius. At that moment, he needed him more than even Tiberius. It was his price for coming back and restore peace and order in Rome.
Poor Julia. This helps explains why she ends up as she does. She was only in the first episode, which was a double one, & goes from a sweet happy young girl, to a depraved drunken whore. It is quite sad what happens to her.
@@youngsteph1 I know, I was quoting Julia herself when she went to complain to Augustus - because he had the gall to diss her because she was at her third marriage.
After reading Tacitus I can say... yes one can empathize with her. After being passed around that many times like a token to mark who is Augustus' successor, I find it quite understandable that she would end up with a very cynical perspective on marriage, love and sex.
Lol Brian Blessed uncomfortable expression is hilarious.
He's already thinking of the explanation he'll have to give to Livia.
I'm trying to remember if this is before or after he... ah... had to address a *problem* regarding his daughter.

@@kereminde Julia married Agrippa before she asked to marry Tiberius.
I love this version of Augustus lol
Agrippa: "Tell me I'm not good enough for your family"
Augustus thinks hard about the morals of his family: :"Nope, that is not the case"

But it's not her fault if she was widowed TWICE!
@@nm7358 I am not blaming her at all. She was though married to Tiberius when this happened.

Could you upload the scene between Augustus and Tiberius - where Augustus starts bellowing 'STOP SULKING!'
uploaded two already, dare not risk a third, you gotta carry that torch
