Agrippa Postumus - in Fiction

In Fiction

Robert Graves' work I, Claudius suggests that, through Livia's influence, Augustus grew to dislike him, and Graves even creates a fictional incident in which Postumus is framed by Livia and her granddaughter Livilla for attempted rape of the latter. Graves also has Postumus escaping his execution by impersonation of the freed slave Clemens, rather than Clemens being an imposter who claimed to be Postumus. In the television adaptation by Jack Pulman, the character dies after Augustus's death on Planasia with Sejanus becoming the assassin. The character is portrayed by John Castle.
