37 BCE · Magistrates

M. Vipsanius Agrippa

4 magistracies , aged 26 at this time

Broughton: Agrippa had probably been placed in charge in 38 of the preparation and training of a new fleet against Sextus Pompey (see 38, Triumviri B. P. C., on Octavian, and Promagistrates, on Agrippa). He spent much of the year building the protected Lucrine harbour, equipping the vessels and training the crews (a). Precisely when Agrippa also became admiral in succession to Calvisius (see Promagistrates, on Calvisius), is not certain, but it was probably early in the year. (See b) On Agrippa, see (c).
