What Marcus Agrippa Really Looked Like
Marcus Agrippa died at 51 years of age in Campania, Italy. Augustus honored his good friend by putting on a huge funeral and mourning for over 30 days. He also oversaw Marcus’ children, as well as their educations. Prior to his death, Marcus had built a tomb for himself, but it was never used. Instead, Augustus had Marcus’ remains placed in his very own mausoleum. Artists believe this is how Marcus Agrippa actually looked during his reign.
