Roman general and admiral. He was instrumental in the successful campaigns and rise to power of the emperor
Augustus. He commanded the victorious fleet at the Battle of
Actium and married Augustus' daughter Julia.
Agrippa used his great wealth to the advantage of the Roman people and Augustus's regime; he built the Pantheon, a new bridge over the Tiber, and the first public baths. He also rebuilt the sewers, and greatly improved the water supply of Rome with aqueducts and a new distribution network.
