Named after his father's military triumph two years after his birth, he was treated as an imbecile after the adoption of his half-brother. The subject of a play by Racine, he lived to the age of 14, when his half-brother became emperor and had him poisoned; although the new emperor probably just had him murdered to secure his place on the throne, Tacitus claims that both men were rivals for the love of Junia. FTP name this unfortunate figure, the brother of Octavia and son of Messalina who was displaced and murdered by his stepmother Agrippina's son Nero.
