Tiberius Ceasar (18 Sept 12 Jahr – 16 März 37 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Tiberius Caesar Augustus.16 November 42 BC – 16 March AD 37) was the second Roman emperor, beginning his sole reign (after a co-regency with Ceasar Augustus since AD12) from AD 14 to 37. He succeeded his stepfather, Augustus.

Tiberius was one of Rome's greatest generals: his conquests of Pannonia, Dalmatia, Raetia, and (temporarily) parts of Germania laid the foundations for the northern frontier.
Even so, he came to be remembered as a dark, reclusive and somber ruler who never really desired to be emperor; Pliny the Elder called him "the gloomiest of men".
After the death of his son Drusus Julius Caesar in AD 23, Tiberius became more reclusive and aloof.
During Tiberius' reign, Jews had become more prominent in Rome, and Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus began proselytizing Roman citizens, increasing long-simmering resentments.
In 26 AD he removed himself from Rome and left administration largely in the hands of his unscrupulous Praetorian prefects Sejanus and Naevius Sutorius Macro.
When Tiberius died, he was succeeded by his grand-nephew and adopted grandson, Caligula.
