.jpg)
Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus († 40 AD) was a Roman politician of the early imperial period and the father of the future emperor Nero .
Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus was a son of Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus (consul 16 BC) and Antonia the Elder , daughter of Mark Antony and Octavia , and thus a great-nephew of Augustus . In 28 AD, Emperor Tiberius married him to the younger Agrippina , the daughter of Germanicus . He had a child with her, Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, born in 37, who later became Nero . In the year 32 Domitius was (unusually all year long) consul ordinarius . He was prosecuted in 37 for incest with his sister Domitia Lepida and insult to majesty; he was also involved in their trial as a lover of the albucilla ; but he escaped condemnation due to the death of Emperor Tiberius at that time. He died in the first half of AD 40 when his son Nero was two years old.
