The marriage of Julia and Tiberius was not a happy one.

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.

She was unwise in her complaints about Germanicus ’ death to Tiberius.

This was the last time that Tiberius invited Agrippina to his dinner table.

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

Germanicus ’ father, Drusus the Elder, was the second son of the Empress Livia Drusilla by her first marriage to praetor Tiberius Nero, and was the Emperor Tiberius ’ s younger brother and Augustus ’ s stepson.

Germanicus was a favorite of his great-uncle Augustus, who hoped that Germanicus would succeed his uncle Tiberius, who was Augustus's own adopted son and heir.

This in turn meant that Tiberius was also Agrippina's adoptive grandfather in addition to her paternal great-uncle.

He was the only child of Agrippina the Younger through her first marriage to Domitius, and through her, he was great-great grandson of the Emperor Augustus, great-grandnephew and adoptive great-grandson of the Emperor Tiberius, nephew of the Emperor Caligula, as well as great-nephew and stepson of the Emperor Claudius.

* Emperor Tiberius is forced to order an investigation and a public trial in the Roman Senate, for the murder of Germanicus.

Seemingly around that time, when Livia was six months pregnant, Tiberius Claudius Nero was persuaded or forced by Octavian to divorce Livia.

The first divorce left Tiberius a fosterchild at the house of Octavian ; the second left Tiberius with a lasting emotional scar, since he had been forced to abandon the woman he loved for dynastic considerations.

However, the deteriorating physical condition of the Roman Emperor Tiberius forced Maurice to return to Constantinople immediately.

The reality of this was seen in 31 when Tiberius was forced to rely upon the vigiles against the soldiers of his own guard.

By 582, with no apparent end to the Persian war in sight, Tiberius was forced to come to terms with the Avars, to whom he agreed to pay an indemnity and to hand over the vital city of Sirmium, which the Avars then destroyed.

However, because Drusus was only related to the Claudian side of the family, rather than both the Julians and Claudians, Augustus forced Tiberius to adopt Germanicus, who was married to Augustus's granddaughter, as his son and heir, removing Drusus from the succession.

Later, as the area became part of the Roman empire some of these tribes from over the Rhine, including Sicambri and Ubii, were forced by Tiberius to settle among in the northeast of Gaul, and Romanised provinces with tribal names developed from the mergers of incoming groups, with people who had lived there before Caesar.

Augustus forced Tiberius to divorce Vipsania and marry Julia.

Tiberius Nero was forced to choose sides, and in his distrust of Octavian, he cast his lot with Mark Antony.
