Editing Agrippa Postumus (section)

==Name==
Postumus was initially named "Marcus Agrippa"{{sfn|Syme|p=186}} in honour of [[Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa|his father]], who died shortly before his birth and so the surname Postumus was added. After the death of his older brothers, [[Lucius Caesar|Lucius]] and [[Gaius Caesar]], Postumus was [[adoption in ancient Rome|adopted]] by his maternal grandfather, [[Augustus]]. A ''[[Lex curiata de imperio|lex curiata]]'' ratified his adoption from which Postumus assumed the [[filiation]] ''Augusti f.'', meaning "son of Augustus". Postumus was then legally the son of Augustus, as well as his biological grandson. As a consequence, Postumus was adopted into the [[Julia gens]] and took the name "Julius Caesar". His name was changed to Agrippa Julius Caesar.<ref name=Vagi111>{{harvnb|Vagi|1999|p=111}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Pettinger|2012|p=47}}</ref>
