Best Answer

Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus was called by Pliny the Elder 'tristissimus hominum', "the gloomiest of men". The second Caesar, he would have been beloved of history if he had only had the decency to die young. Modesty prohibits specific detail, but, suffice it to say the historian Tacitus records that upon the news of Tiberius' death the crowd rejoiced, only to become suddenly silent and sullen upon hearing that he had recovered, then, rejoiced again at the news that Caligula and Macro had smothered him to death.

What are facts about Tiberius?

Background of Tiberius: Tiberius was born in 42 BC. He was the step-son of Augustus and his mother was Livia. Tiberius father was also called Tiberius - his name was Tiberius Nero. His father was from the Claudian family who was very rich and powerful. When Tiberius was only 3 years old, his mother LIvia, divorced Tiberius Nero and married Ocatvian, who would later become the emperor Augustus. Tiberius real father, Tiberius Nero, died when Tiberius was nine years old. As he was growing up, his step-father Augustus sent him on missions to give him experience so he could become a leader and rule the Roman Empire. For example, he was sent to fight with his brother, Nero Claudis Drusus, to fight against the Germans in the Alps, north of Italy. Tiberius married about 20 BC, when he was 22 to Vipsania Agrippina, who was the daughter of Augustus' favorite general Agrippa. In 13 BC, they had a baby son, who they names Julius Caesar Drusus. Agrippa died in 12 BC and Augustus forced Tiberius (who was 30 years old) to divorce Vipsania and marry Agrippa's widow, Julia Caesaris, even though Tiberius didn't want to. Tiberius won many battles. But he was very unhappy with his life. In 6 BC, when Tiberius was 36 years old, he quit his army positions and announced he was moving to the island of Rhodes. His step-father, Augustus was upset because he had no other sons to succeed him. After Augustus died, Tiberius was forced to come back to Rome and become the next emperor.
