Description
Synopsis: Germanicus travels to Syria to assume his Eastern Imperium.“‘The prime duty of friends is not to follow their dead with passive laments, but to remember his wishes and carry out his commands. Strangers themselves will bewail Germanicus: youwill avenge him – if you loved me, and not my fortune. Show to the Roman people the granddaughter of their deified Augustus, who was also my wife; number her six children: pity will side with the accusers, and, if the murderers allege some infamous warrant, they will find no credence in men – or no forgiveness!’ His friends touched the dying hand, and swore to forgo life sooner than revenge.” – Tacitus, The Annals, Book IIhttp://s407341505.onlinehome.us/Episode_B9_Germanicus.mp3Updated Near Eastern Family Tree:http://s407341505.onlinehome.us/5_Near_East_19AD.pdfUpdated Map of the Near East:http://s407341505.onlinehome.us/Near_East_18AD.jpg
