Agrippina, in prison at Pandataria, protests violently.

On one occasion, Tiberius had ordered a guard to flog her, during which punishment she loses an eye.

Refusing to eat, Agrippina is force-fed but later starves herself to death, expiring on October 17, 33 CE.

Tacitus, however, leaves open the possibility that she was deprived of nourishment while in prison and her death was not voluntary.

After her death, Tiberius slanders her name and has the senate declare that her birth date was a date of bad omen.

Together with Caligula, Germanicus’s eighteen-year-old daughter, named Julia Agrippina after her mother and known to posterity as Agrippina the younger, has also escaped the purges, as have seventeen-year-old Julia Drusilla, and fifteen-year-old Julia Livilla.
