Her alleged paramour, Sempronius Gracchus, was executed around the same time on Tiberius ’ s orders.

He defended Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso ( a friend of Tiberius, but also a relative of Lepidus ) at his trial for the alleged poisoning of Germanicus.

Others have suggested that Julia's alleged paramours were members of her city clique, who wished to remove Tiberius from favour and replace him with Antonius.

Simultaneously, her alleged paramour Sempronius Gracchus, who had endured 14 years of exile on Cercina ( Kerkenna ) off the African coast, was executed at Tiberius ' instigation, or on the independent initiative of Nonius Asprenas, proconsul of Africa.

Vipsania Agrippina later married senator and consul Gaius Asinius Gallus Saloninus after Tiberius was forced to divorce her and marry Julia the Elder.

In 26, Agrippina requested Tiberius to allow her to marry her brother-in-law, Roman Senator Gaius Asinius Gallus Saloninus.

Among those who perished were Gaius Asinius Gallus, a prominent senator and opponent of Tiberius who was linked to Agrippina's faction.

Asinius Gallus never denied his paternity of the son of Tiberius and Vipsania, Julius Caesar Drusus, heir from 19 AD to 23 AD, which means that he might also have been the father of the child Vipsania was expecting on her divorce.

When Agrippina died in October of that same year, Tiberius accused her of " having had Asinius Gallus as a paramour and being driven by his death to loathe existence " ( Annals 6. 25 ).

She was the mother-in-law of the emperor Tiberius, Gaius Asinius Gallus and grandmother to Julius Caesar Drusus and his half-brothers.

Augustus had forced his first stepson Tiberius to end his happy first marriage to Vipsania Agrippina to marry Julia the Elder.

Livia was the first Roman Empress and was Augustus ’ third wife ( from Livia ’ s first marriage to praetor Tiberius Nero, she had two sons: the emperor Tiberius and the general Nero Claudius Drusus.

Germanicus was always favored by his great uncle and hoped that he would succeed Tiberius, who had been adopted by Augustus as his heir and successor.

It was widely suspected that Germanicus had been poisoned or perhaps on the orders of Tiberius, with Agrippina believing he was assassinated.

Agrippina had a hasty, uncomfortable relationship with Tiberius and possibly with Tiberius ’ mother Livia.

After her death, Tiberius slandered her name and had the senate declare that her birth date was a date of bad omen.

Germanicus ’ death in the year 19 caused much public grief in Rome, and gave rise to rumors that he had been murdered by Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso and Munatia Plancina on the orders of Tiberius, as his widow Agrippina the Elder returned to Rome with his ashes.

Her great-uncle Tiberius had already become emperor and the head of the family after the death of Augustus in 14.

Around the time that Tiberius died, Agrippina had become pregnant.

The freedman Tiberius Claudius Narcissus suggested Claudius remarry his second wife Aelia Paetina, with whom he had a daughter, Claudia Antonia.

This feud dated back to Agrippina's mother's actions against Tiberius after the death of Germanicus, actions which Tiberius had gladly punished.

Nero even threatened his mother he would abdicate the throne and would go to live on the Greek Island of Rhodes, a place where Tiberius had lived after divorcing Julia the Elder.

Tiberius and Augustus had both left gifts to the army and guard in their wills, and upon Caligula's death the same would have been expected, even if no will existed.

This feud dated back to Agrippina's mother's actions against Tiberius after the death of her husband Germanicus ( Claudius's brother ), actions which Tiberius had gladly punished.

Barbara Levick notes that Augustus had named his grandson Postumus Agrippa and his stepson Tiberius as joint heirs.

Unscathed by the deadly intrigues, Caligula accepted the invitation to join the emperor on the island of Capri in 31, where Tiberius himself had withdrawn five years earlier.

Backed by Macro, Caligula had Tiberius ' will nullified with regards to Gemellus on grounds of insanity, but otherwise carried out Tiberius ' wishes.

He had his cousin and adopted son Tiberius Gemellus executed – an act that outraged Caligula's and Gemellus's mutual grandmother Antonia Minor.

He published the accounts of public funds, which had not been made public during the reign of Tiberius.

The Julio-Claudian dynasty normally refers to the first five Roman Emperors: Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula ( also known as Gaius ), Claudius, and Nero, or the family to which they belonged ; they ruled the Roman Empire from its formation, in the second half of the 1st century ( 44 / 31 / 27 ) BC, until AD 68, when the last of the line, Nero, committed suicide.

Upon learning of his death, Apicata committed suicide ( October 26 ) after addressing a letter to Tiberius claiming that Drusus had been poisoned with the complicity of Livilla.

Piso committed suicide, though it was rumoured that Tiberius, fearing incriminating disclosures, had put him to death.

A few days later ( October 26 ) Sejanus ' former wife Apicata committed suicide, but not before addressing a letter to Tiberius claiming that Drusus had been poisoned, with the complicity of Livilla.

He became praetor in 25 AD, and gained the favor of Tiberius by accusing Claudia Pulchra, the second cousin of Agrippina, of adultery and the use of magic arts against the emperor, in 26 AD.

Nero's father was described by Suetonius as a murderer and a cheat who was charged by Emperor Tiberius with treason, adultery, and incest.

He was involved in an adultery scandal at the time the Emperor Tiberius, died in March 37

Pandataria is best known as the island to which the emperor Augustus banished his daughter Julia the Elder in 2 BC, as reaction to her excessive adultery, where she was to spend five years, and to which Tiberius banished his grandniece Agrippina the Elder in 29 AD.

The Emperor Tiberius charged him with treason, adultery and incest with his sister and also with adultery with another noblewoman, but the ascension of Caligula saved him.

He was accused of being the accomplice of Albucilla in the crimes of adultery and murder, and also of incest with his sister Domitia Lepida, and narrowly escaped execution only because of the death of Tiberius.

Subsequently, Iullus and his political friends are all accused of conspiring against Tiberius and Augustus as well as adultery with Julia.

He was accused of writing a tragedy, some of the verses of which reflected badly on Tiberius, but adultery and practicing magic were the ostensible charges brought against him.

Yet in 2 BC she was arrested for adultery and treason ; Augustus sent her a letter in Tiberius ' name declaring the marriage null and void.
