Dinnerware, 1st-3rd century AD, found in Cologne.
Agrippina the Elder (14 BC - 33 AD), 1st century AD, found: unknown. Vipsania Agrippina was a granddaughter of Emperor Augustus and married his great-nephew and designated successor Germanicus. As commander-in-chief of the Rhine troops, Germanicus and his family stayed in Cologne in the years 13-16 AD. His wife was instrumental in helping him put down a mutiny of the Rhine legions in 14 A.D. A year later, she gave birth to their daughter Agrippina the Younger in Cologne.
