He was favorably received by Tiberius, who entrusted him with the education of his grandson Tiberius Gemellus.

Caligula ( Malcolm McDowell ), the young heir to the throne of the syphilis-ridden, half-mad Emperor Tiberius ( Peter O ' Toole ), thinks he has received a bad omen after a blackbird flies into his room early one morning.

The Annales of Tacitus state ( 1. 42. 6 ) that they received standards from Tiberius, but when that was is not clear.

During the reign of the Emperor Tiberius, he received a military triumph, for ending a revolt in Thrace in 26.

In 21 he was consul again, significantly with his father Tiberius as his colleague, while in 22 he received tribunicia potestas ( tribunician power ), a distinction reserved solely for the emperor or his immediate successor.

Aspurgus adopted the Imperial Roman names " Tiberius Julius " when he received Roman citizenship and enjoyed the patronage of the first two Roman Emperors, Augustus and Tiberius.

Quintus Pompeius addressed the Senate and said that he " was a neighbour of Tiberius, and therefore knew that Eudemus of Pergamum had presented Tiberius with a royal diadem and a purple robe, believing that he was going to be king in Rome.

After the longest reign since Augustus ( surpassing Tiberius by a couple of months ), Antoninus died of fever at Lorium in Etruria, about twelve miles ( 19 km ) from Rome, on 7 March 161, giving the keynote to his life in the last word that he uttered when the tribune of the night-watch came to ask the password —" aequanimitas " ( equanimity ).

Around this time, to avoid any scandals Tiberius divorced Julia and left Rome to live on the Greek island of Rhodes.

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

In 29, Agrippina and her sons Nero and Drusus, were arrested on the orders of Tiberius.

She was banished on Tiberius ’ orders to the island of Pandataria ( now called Ventotene ) in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Campania.

The notorious guard Sejanus was murdered in 31 on the orders of Tiberius.

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.

Tiberius died on March 16, 37 and Agrippina's only surviving brother, Caligula, became the new emperor.

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.

When the Arch of Pavia was erected to honor the Imperial clan in 8, Claudius ' name ( now Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus after his elevation to paterfamilias of Claudii Nerones on the adoption of his brother ) was inscribed on the edge — past the deceased princes, Gaius and Lucius, and Germanicus ' children.

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.

In AD 31, Caligula was remanded to the personal care of Tiberius on Capri, where he lived for six years.

After he became Emperor, Caligula claimed to have planned to kill Tiberius with a dagger in order to avenge his mother and brother: however, having brought the weapon into Tiberius's bedroom he did not kill the Emperor but instead threw the dagger down on the floor.

When Tiberius died on 16 March AD 37, his estate and the titles of the Principate were left to Caligula and Tiberius's own grandson, Gemellus, who were to serve as joint heirs.

Although Tiberius was 77 and on his death bed, some ancient historians still conjecture that he was murdered.

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

Tacitus provides some information on Caligula's life under Tiberius.

The play focuses on Caligula's love for his sister Drusilla, and his deep-rooted loathing for Tiberius.

In spite of doubts on the part of his uncle, Emperor Tiberius, Germanicus managed to raise another huge army and invaded Germany again the next year, in 16.

On Tiberius ' request, Germanicus was granted proconsular power and assumed command in the prime military zone of Germania, where he suppressed the mutiny there and led the formerly restless legions on campaigns against Germanic tribes from 14 to 16 AD.

Germanicus died at Syria in 19 AD and, on his deathbed, accused the governor of Syria, Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, of murdering him at Tiberius ’ s orders.

Claudius ( Latin: Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus ; 1 August 10 BC – 13 October AD 54 ) was Roman Emperor from 41 to 54.

Claudius ' infirmity probably saved him from the fate of many other nobles during the purges of Tiberius and Caligula's reigns ; potential enemies did not see him as a serious threat.

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.

Gaius and Lucius, the first two children of Julia and Agrippa, were adopted by Augustus and became heirs to the throne ; however, Augustus also showed great favor toward his wife Livia's two children from her first marriage: Drusus and Tiberius.

They have, by the help of Divine Providence, overcome all obstacles, and have made themselves free ... I know not by what misfortune, we are fallen into the error of those, who poised the Emperor Titus to make room for Domitian, who made away Augustus that they might have Tiberius, and changed Claudius for Nero ... whereas the people of England are now renowned, all over the world, for their great virtue and discipline ; and yet suffer an idiot, without courage, without sense, nay, without ambition, to have dominion in a country of liberty.

When Augustus died in 14 AD, his political powers passed to his adopted son Tiberius ; the Roman Principate had begun.

Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus ( Latin: ; b. abt 163 BC-162 BC d. 133 BC ) was a Roman Populares politician of the 2nd century BC and brother of Gaius Gracchus.

Tiberius ' actions stirred up a frenzy in Rome ; his opponents argued that Tiberius ' negotiation made Rome appear weak and the losers of the war, while his proponents maintained that it was the general Mancinus who was several times defeated and had tried to ignobly retreat and it was Tiberius ' actions that saved the lives of many citizen-soldiers.

The Senate attempted to mollify the People by allowing the agrarian law to go into effect and a vote to replace Tiberius ' place on the commission ; the job fell to Publius Crassus, father-in-law of Tiberius ' brother Gaius.
