Julius Caesar Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Maybe we could all agree that a Germanicus principate is one of the great "What-Ifs" of Roman history. It probably would have meant no Sejanus, no reign of Caligula, no reign of Nero, and possibly the continuation of the Julio-Claudian line well beyond the point where Nero destroyed it. Now back to the debate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanicus Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 I don't think Primus is saying that if you go and read some more on the subject that you will change your opinion G. Nero, it's fairly obvious no one will. But he is perhaps saying that you will see why he has his, which you have so far been incapable of doing.

lucius artorius castus Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I am just curious did germanicus's son gaius caligula yes the one who later became emperor have anything to do with his father's death because i have just finished watching I Claudius and it has caligula as one of the murderers of germanicus.

Germanicus Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Artorius, you'll find coverage of just that topic earlier in this string. Answer is that no, he probably had nothing to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princeps Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Wow, you certainly know your stuff Primus. I don't have much to add to the debate, apart from "Taccitus - The annals of Imperial Rome" is possibly the greatest book I have ever read, I see you're also a fan. I really wish that his accounts of the Germainc wars had survived beyond antiquity, as I found the brief passages in his more famous works to be the most interesting parts.
