accusation had no consequences. Lepidus died in 33 AD. Tacitus described him as "wise and noble" for his actions as a senator. According to Tacitus his actions could be taken as an example for independent aristocrats living under tyranny. Descendants It is possible that Lepidus married Vipsania Marcella, daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and his second wife Claudia Marcella Major (niece of emperor Augustus). If so, then a son of hers is identified from a dedication inscription in the basilica Aemilia. His daughter Aemilia Lepida married Drusus Caesar, a son of Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder. Although it is uncertain, some historians believe that he was also father to the Marcus Aemilius Lepidus who became Caligula's lover and brother-in-law, as husband to Julia Drusilla.
