He was born the son of Augustus' trusted friend and general, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa.  His name at birth was Gaius Vipsanius Agrippa, but it later changed to Gaius Julius Caesar, following his adoption out of the "Vipsanii" and into the "Julii" by Augustus.  He along with his brother Lucius, born in 17BC, were intended to rule the Roman Empire together.

He was born Gaius Octavius into an old and wealthy equestrian branch of the plebeian "gens" Octavia.  His maternal great-uncle Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, and Octavius was named in Caesar's will as his adopted son and heir, then known as Octavianus (Anglicized as Octavian).  He, Mark Antony, and Marcus Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate to defeat the assassins of Caesar.  Following their victory at the Battle of Philippi, the Triumvirate divided the Roman Republic among themselves and ruled as military dictators.  The Triumvirate was eventually torn apart by the competing ambitions of its members.  Lepidus was driven into exile and stripped of his position, and Antony committed suicide following his defeat at the Battle of Actium by Octavian in 31 BC.
