Agricola was born on the ides of June, in the third consulship of
Caligula; he died on the tenth before the calends of September,
during the consulship of Collega and Priscus, in the fifty-sixth year
of his age.There seems, in this place, to be some mistake, not, however, imputable to Tacitus, but, more probably, to the transcribers, who, in their
manuscript, might easily write LVI. instead of LIV. Caligula's third
consulship was A. U. C. 793, A. D. 40. Agricola was born on the
thirteenth of June in that year: he died on the ioth of the calends of
September, that is the 23d of August, in the consulship of Pompeius
Collega and Cornelius Priscus, A. U. C, 846, A. D. 93. According to
this account, Agricola, on the 13th of June, A. U. C. 846, entered on the
fifty-fourth year of his age, and died in the month of August following.
It is, therefore, probable, that the copyists, as already observed, inserted
in their manuscript fifty-six for fifty-four. [His life extended through the reigns

Agrippi'na Ii.
2. the daughter of Germanicus and Agrippina the elder, daughter of M. Vipsanius Agrippa.
She was born between A. D. 13 and 17, at the Oppidum Ubiorum, afterwards called in honour of her Colonia Agrippina, now Cologne, land then the head-quarters of the legions commanded by her father. In A. D. 28, she married Cn. Domitius Ahenobarbus, a man not unlike her, and whom she lost in A. D. 40.
After his death she married Crispus Passienus, who died some years afterwards; and she was accused of having poisoned him, either for the purpose of obtaining his great fortune, or for some secret motive of much higher importance.
She was already known for her scandalous conduct, for her most perfidious intrigues, and for an unbounded ambition.
She was accused of having committed incest with her own brother, the emperor Caius Caligula, who under the pretext of having discovered that she had lived in an adulterous intercourse with M. Aemilius Lepidus, the husband of her sister Drusilla, b

Bassus, Betilie'nus
occurs on a coin, from which we learn that he was a triumvir monetalis in the reign of Augustus. (Eckhel, v. p. 150.) Seneca speaks (de Ira, 3.18) of a Betilienus Bassus who was put to death in the reign of Caligula ; and it is supposed that he may be the same as the Betillinus Cassius, who, Dio Cassius says (59.25), was executed by command of Caligula, A. D. 40.

Gallus, A. Di'dius
was curator aquarum in the reign of Caligula, A. D. 40.
In the reign of Claudius, A. D. 50, he commanded a Roman army in Bosporus, and subsequently he was appointed by the same emperor to succeed Ostonus in Britain, where, however, he confined himself to protecting what the Romans had gained before, for he was then at an advanced age, and governed his province through his legates.
In his earlier years he seems to have been a man of great ambition, and of some eminence as an orator. (Frontin. de Aquaed. 102; Tac. Ann. 12.15, 40, 14.29, Agric. 14 ; Quint. Inst. 6.3.68.) [L.S]
