Agrippina Tiberii uxor. III. Altius ad vivum nostri persedit amoris In Tiberi charos intima plaga sinus, Iulia nec quamvis tetigit furtiva cubile Coniugis illa mei, tota potita viro est. Agrippina animum Tiberi, mentemque tenebat, Atque oculos tenuit post aliquando suos. Iulia non tenuit, rapuit quae gaudia nobis; Nam patris exitium, lege, virique tulit. Aegidius Sadeler S.C.M. sculp. Marcus Sadeler excudit. Lettering in four elegiac couplets below the portrait

One print in a set of twelve pairs of prints of Roman emperors and empresses
