This Day in Ancient History
On this day in 29 AD, Decimus Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus (Drusus) possible illegitimate son of Augustus and father of the Emperor Claudius, died after suffering and declining for a month after a fall from a horse in Germany during his campaign against the Marcomanni. His son won't become Emperor for a dozen years and is a fascinating story. (See Acts 18:2)
