Years: 36 - 36
Agrippa, having raised a sizable loan in Alexandria, returns in 36 to Rome, where the emperor Tiberius receives favorably at Puteoli but refuses to allow him to stay at the court until his debt is paid.
A new loan covers the obligation, and he secures a post as tutor to Tiberius' grandson Tiberius Gemellus.
He also forms an intimacy with Caligula, at this time a popular favorite among the Roman people.
Agrippa is one day overheard by his freedman Eutyches expressing a wish for Tiberius' death and the advancement of Caligula, and for this he is cast into prison, but Caligula remains his friend.
