Edit ProfileCareer
Agrippa had an older full blooded brother called Justus and an older paternal half-brother called Hyrcanus. Jonathon may have been Alexander Jannaeus, the High Priest and Hasmonean ruler who governed Judea from 103 British Columbia-76 British Columbia. Agrippa’s Greek cognomen Simonides doesn’t appear on his corpse or among any Jewish inscriptions in Rome. Josephus during his years in Rome dedicated his time, in studying Greek Poetry and his literacy contemporaries such as Plutarch and Quintilian remembered the works of Simonides.
His second cognomen is a Latin name Agrippa.
He was perhaps named after the Herodian Prince and King Agrippa World War II Agrippa II was a contemporary King to Josephus and they were very good acquaintances. Agrippa was a contemporary of the ruling Flavian dynasty and Nerva–Antonine dynasty of the Roman Empire.
He was alive when Josephus was compiling his historical writings and when his father died about 100. Unfortunately little is known on his remaining life.
