Hi,
Another great one, that history has sort of forgotten is Marcus Agrippa.
Agrippa was Octavian’s greatest general and is credited by most for the strategy that won the Battle of Actium in 31 BC over Mark Antony and Cleopatra.
Octavian, after changing his name to August and proclaiming himself emperor… named Agrippa as his successor however, Agrippa died before he could become emperor.
As for Genealogy… Agrippa’s son Claudius would later become emperor, his second son Germanicus would become Tiberius’s greatest General, until Tiberius became jealous and fearing a take over, poisoned Germanicus. Germanicus’s son, Caligula (Agrippa’s grandchild) would also become emperor. Lastly Agrippa’s granddaughter’s son, was Nero… yet another emperor.

No banks so people tended to bury their money. During the middle ages dug up hoards were often called "Jew Money" or "Elf Money."
