TIBERIUSAT CAPRI

Tiberius was the second emperor of Rome. He was the stepson of Augustus Caesar, and only inherited the imperial throne due to the premature deaths of several other nephews and grandsons of Augustus, who had been in line for the honor. Tiberius was unusually reserved by nature and for this reason was never particularly popular with either the citizens of Rome or the army, but he was for the most part a competent administrator and the empire continued in relative stability under his leadership.

Tiberius was the subject of several scandals throughout his life, but historians vary in how much blame they assign to him.

Tiberius (Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus, 16 November 42 BC – 16 March 37 AD) was the second Roman Emperor. He ruled from 14 CE to 37 CE.^[1] He was the step-son of Caesar Augustus.

Tiberius was one of Ancient Rome's greatest generals, whose campaigns protected the northern frontier. He reigned for 22 years, and the first part of his imperial work was excellent. Later, he came to be remembered as a dark, reclusive, and somber ruler. After the death of his son Drusus in 23, the quality of his rule declined and ended in terror.

In 26, Tiberius moved from Rome to the Isle of Capri, and left administration largely in the hands of his unscrupulous Praetorian PrefectSejanus. Sejanus became the effective ruler of Rome, and plotted against Tiberius, murdering people who opposed him. When alerted, Tiberius counter-plotted to remove Sejanus from his official positions, and eventually executed him. More executions followed of people who had committed crimes under Se
