Question

The Leiden Aratea was an illuminated manuscript copy of an astronomical treatise written by this man. This man was dispatched to quell the War of the Batos due to his uncle’s presumed delaying of the conflict. This man ordered a massacre of the Marsi at their temple to Tamfana, after which he pressured Mallovendus into revealing the location of a lost eagle. Tacitus claims that this man was recalled out of jealousy after his victories at the Battle of (15[1])the Weser (“VEE-zah”) River and the Battle of the Angrivarian Wall. (-5[1])(*) Benjamin West depicted this man’s wife Agrippina the Elder (-5[1])arriving at Brundisium with his ashes. (10[1])Upon relieving (-5[1])a famine in Egypt, this man may have been poisoned by Gnaeus Calpurnius (10[1])Piso. For 10 points, name this father of Caligula and nephew of Tiberius, whose name refers to his victories in a central European (10[1])region. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
