<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 3180175, member: 91461&quot;]On September 3rd (Today<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) 36 BCE, in the Battle of Naulochus, Octavian&#039;s right hand man and General, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa defeats Sextus Pompey, son of Pompey Magnus or &quot;The Great&quot; (supposedly named this by Sulla with tongue in cheek), thus ending Pompeian resistance to the Second Triumvirate.</p><p>After his fathers unfortunate death and decapitation, in Ptolemaic Egypt, Sextus continued his fathers cause resorting to free booting to acquire funds and men. He did his fathers name proud, even minting some lovely coins (none of which I have to show<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) while putting up strong resistance. Sadly, within a year of losing this, his last battle of which be narrowly escaped, he would be killed by Marcus Titius without trial, a man whom he&#039;d once spared, at the early age of 32.</p><p>Agrippa, however, was a man on the rise! He would continue to fight, and win, nearly every battle Octavian/Augustus asked him to participate in. He was away at battle conquering the upper Danube river when he died at the, also, early age of 51. He, as well as up to 5 other individuals, would have been known as the 2nd emperor of Rome had Augustus not outlived them all.</p><p>Here are my 3 fun multi colored/patinated Agrippa&#039;s!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]819400[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your Agrippas, Pompeys, 2nd triumvirates or anything you deem awesome![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
