<b>Abstract:</b></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">The death of Germanicus, the nephew of emperor Tiberius, in 19 CE can be seen as one of the key events in the Imperial
family during the reign of Tiberius. This death supposedly increased tensions inside the family, or even tore the family apart. In my paper, the death of Germanicus and its consequences are discussed from the viewpoint of three women of the family: Germanicus’
widow Agrippina the Elder, his mother Antonia the Younger and his grandmother Livia, called officially Julia Augusta at the time. The public view was focused on the funeral and commemoration of Germanicus as well as on the trial against the former governor
of Syria, Cn. Calpurnius Piso and his wife, who were accused of the murder of Germanicus. In addition to the narrative of the historian Tacitus, there are contemporary sources of these events, namely inscriptions concerning the official commemoration of Germanicus
and the trial against Piso and his wife. Comparison between Tacitus and epigraphic texts illuminates how contemporaries and later generations understood the role of the women of the family in these events.</span></p>
