Answer
To forge a strong political alliance, Agrippina married Germanicus, a prominent Roman general and the nephew of Emperor Tiberius. This alliance solidified the bond between the powerful Julio-Claudian dynasty, which Agrippina belonged to, and the popular and influential Germanic family represented by Germanicus. The union not only brought together two influential families but also increased Agrippina's standing in Roman society, paving the way for her future political influence.
