Agrippa was quite influential in Roman politics irl. He used to rule given provinces via proxy while remaining in the place he seemed surrounded by his loyal people and influence. He also worked as a bridge of "Secret Alliance " between Rome and other warrring states. Not to mention his children’s were quite active in Roman politics and many his descendants ruled Roman as Emperor. For his loyalty Augustus irl gave a massive lavish funeral to Agrippa also saw to his Children's education and made his grandson heir to the throne of Rome 😍😍

@@rp-5285 Ofcourse I know of the alleged Chinese debt problem but that is beside the issue here. It's a discussion for another time.

The foundation of all this is having a centrally-planned economy and controlling major means of production by the state - which does not necessarily exclude having some private entreprise. The difference with today's China and the West is that in the West the profit motive is put above the greater good of society.

Agrippa was number 1 in the heart of the only person who mattered: Octavian.
well said
@TC you’re goddamn right
@@TWC3Apply Burnol 😂😂😂😂
Without Marcus Agrippa Octavian would never have become Augustus. Friendship is the greatest gift life can give you.
Indeed and Agrippa was one of if not the realest ones ever
Greatest Bromance of all time.

Well Agrippa's kids where Augustus grandkids with, I believe, the exception of his daughter from his first marriage
It’s no small thing to be #2 to the most influential person in history
there's no shame in being Robin...especially if your Batman is Augustus. lol
Proved himself so often that luck was never a consideration. It was he that Octavian owed everything he was to.
Best "Wingman" sounds so much more complimentary then best "number 2"
I saw the title and said, "Agrippa." Then I noticed the statue... :-)
It’s spinning me out how much you sound like Anthony Bourdain
Now do 1 for Scott Pippen
Labienus was also a great nr 2
Truth. But so was Marcus Antonius. And Agrippa stayed true the entire time. Didn’t defect.
@@GoogleUserOne Marcus Antonius is overrated he was okay number two not comparable to Labienus
Grandfather of Caligula, great grandfather of Nero... Yikes
Mark Anthony
Yuck, he got his jewels ripped of by his Eastern Witch.
Was a fake
Another outstanding No 2 is Zhou Enlai, Mao's PM
