What did Agrippinus say when facing his trial? He said, "I won't get in my own way." When someone told him his trial was happening in the Senate, he said: "I hope it goes well. But it's the fifth hour"—this was when he normally exercised and took a cold bath—"let's go exercise." After his workout, someone came and said, "You've been condemned." "To exile," he asked, "or death?" "Exile." "What about my property?" "They didn't take it." "Then let's go to Aricia and have dinner."
What then did Agrippinus say? He said, "I am not a hindrance to myself." When it was reported to him that his trial was going on in the Senate, he said: "I hope it may turn out well; but it is the fifth hour of the day"—this was the time when he was used to exercise himself and then take the cold bath,—"let us go and take our exercise." After he had taken his exercise, one comes and tells him, "You have been condemned." "To banishment," he replies, "or to death?" "To banishment." "What about my property?" "It is not taken from you." "Let us go to Aricia then," he said, "and dine."
