"BY UNION SMALL THINGS BECOME GREAT, BY DIVISION THE GREATEST FALL TO PIECES."
My name is Vipsania Agrippina, daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and his first wife Caecilia Pomponia Attica. I am the granddaughter of Titus Pomponius Atticus, lifelong friend and confident of Marcus Tullius Cicero. I am married to Tiberius Claudius Nero, who is the love of my life. A better match could not have been made by the Gods themselves.
But I digress. In my villa you will find artifacts and letters dedicated to the memory of my beloved father Marcus Agrippa. Agrippa's greatness was subverted throughout the millenia by that horrid Maecenas and his lover Virgil. Although my father loved and admired the arts, he did not think much about lounging around all day, accomplishing nothing of palpable worth.
As you wander through my house you will discover places that serve as my homebase for certain activities. In the Courtyard I conduct my social activities here at AncientWorlds and at Rome. My Library is for my historical and academic pursuits. Finally, in my Study you will find my game playing scores, statistics and artifacts.
Thank you for visiting my villa and please make a tribute to my father, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, the greatest Roman ever known!

Pax Inter Pares
Position: Caesarians
Level 3
Peace Between Equals.
Caesar has crossed the Rubicon, but Civil War did not erupt. Caesar and Pompey stand together against the Republicans.
In this alternative Rome, who will come out ahead? Or will anyone?
You decide.

The Republic Reborn
Position: Tribune of the Plebs
Level 3
The Gracchi, Champions of the Plebs, lie dead. Marius, Sulla, the great names of known history shall never come to prominence here. Will you take their role in history?
