RIC 1
Tiberius (14-37 AD)
Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus, born
Tiberius Claudius Nero (November 16, 42 BC – March 16, AD 37), was the second
Roman Emperor, from the death of Augustus in AD 14 until his own death in 37.
Tiberius was by birth a Claudian, son of Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia
Drusilla. His mother divorced his father and was remarried to Octavian Augustus
in 39 BC, making him a step-son of Octavian. Tiberius would later marry
Augustus' daughter Julia the Elder (from an earlier marriage) and even later be
adopted by Augustus, by which act he officially became a Julian, bearing the
name Tiberius Julius Caesar. The subsequent emperors after Tiberius would
continue this blended dynasty of both families for the next forty years;
historians have named it the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
Tiberius was one of Rome's greatest generals, whose campaigns in Pannonia,
Illyricum, Rhaetia and Germania laid the foundations for the northern frontier.
But he came to be remembered as a dark, reclusive, and somber ruler who never
really desired to be emperor; Pliny the Elder called him tristissimus hominum,
"the gloomiest of men."[1] After the death of Tiberius’ son Drusus Julius Caesar
in 23, the quality of his rule declined and ended in a terror. In 26, Tiberius
exiled himself from Rome and left administration largely in the hands of his
unscrupulous Praetorian Prefects Lucius Aelius Sejanus and Quintus Naevius
Sutorius Macro. Caligula, Tiberius’ adopted grandson, succeeded the Emperor upon
his death.
