In 11 BC she married Gaius Asinius Gallus, a senator and son of the famous orator Gaius Asinius Pollio. They had at least six sons.

Roman Emperors - DIR Agrippina the Younger (3398 words)
Agrippina the Younger was the daughter of Germanicus Julius Caesar and of Vipsania Agrippina (Agrippina the Elder).
Agrippina attained the long-coveted position of imperial wife, and Claudius was able to keep the daughter of his still popular brother Germanicus from marrying someone else and so legitimating a potential rival with her family connection.
Agrippina was thought to have manipulated her husband so that he adopted Nero just as she had arranged his marriage with Octavia, since it moved her son to the head of the line for succession.
