Cornelius Nepos
Attica became Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa's first wife. Agrippa was the right-hand man and trusted friend of Octavian (the future emperor Augustus). The two were childhood friends and had studied together in Apollonia, Illyria (modern Albania) before Julius Caesar had adopted Octavian. This made the match a very fortunate one for Attica. Cornelius Nepos states that it was Mark Antony who arranged the marriage for the couple. Nepos also notes that while Agrippa had the opportunity to marry into the nobility, he preferred to wed an equestrian.
