This photo shows a detail of the figures on one corner of the Rathaus (City Hall) tower which was built in 1414 and includes statues of many prominent citizens in the city's history. This one is Agrippina, born in what is now Cologne in 15 CE. The formal name of the town at the time includes her name since her father (Germanicus) was colonial governor at the time. Later, she would marry Claudius and her son was Nero. She's one of about six women honored on this tower. Cologne, Germany
