Editing Agrippa Postumus (section)

===Deaths of Augustus and Postumus===
Augustus died on 19 August AD 14. Despite being banished, Postumus had not legally been disinherited and so could claim a share in Augustus' inheritance. According to Augustus' will, sealed on 3 April AD 13, Tiberius would inherit two thirds of his estate and Livia one third. There is no mention of Postumus in the document.<ref>{{harvnb|Levick|1976|p=45}}</ref> Tiberius gave the eulogy at Augustus' funeral and made a show of reluctantly accepting the title of {{lang|la|princeps}}.<ref name=Powell193/>

At almost the same time as Augustus' death, Postumus was killed by the [[centurion]] Gaius Sallustius Crispus, the great-nephew and adopted son of the historian [[Sallust]]. When Crispus reported to Tiberius that "his orders have been carried out", Tiberius threatened to bring the matter before the Senate and professed that he had given no such orders. Tiberius denied any involvement, argued that he had been ''en route'' to Illyricum when he was recalled to Rome, and later issued a statement that it was Augustus who had given the order that Agrippa Postumus not survive him. It is not clear if the killing was carried out before or after Tiberius became emperor.<ref name=Powell193/><ref name=Fox472/><ref>{{harvnb|Levick|1976|p=46}}</ref>
