Life

Domitius was thus related to several notable figures who would dominate the Roman Empire during the 1st century. Suetonius describes him as ‘despicable and dishonest’. As a young man, Domitius was serving on the staff of his second cousin Gaius Caesar in the East. Gaius was a son of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia the Elder, daughter to the previously mentioned Augustus. Domitius fortified their friendship by killing his freedman. The reported reason was that the freedman did not get as drunk as Domitius did. On the Appian Way, Domitius was reported of having deliberately run over a child who was playing with his doll.

Domitius was Consul in 32 and appointed by Tiberius as a commissioner in early 37. His son Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus (Nero) was born on 15 December 37 in Antium.
