Tiberius did not have to try hard to keep in peace in Rome. The Roman Empire had already been stabilised by his predecessor Augustus, who created absolute rule by the emperor after the civil wars which brought down the Roman Republic. The strong system of centralised rule Augustus created led to the Pax Romana (Roman Peace) which was a period of relative political stability within the Roman Empire

Tiberius has to face a conspiracy by Sejanus, the head of the Praetorian Guard (Imperial Guard). Tiberius was reluctant to be emperor and was not keen on governance. In 17 AD his nephew and adoptive son died and accused the governor of Syria of having poisoned him just before his death. The Governor threatened to implicate Tiberius in the murder. In 22 AD his son died mysteriously. Tiberius retired from politics and withdrew to the island of Capri, off Naples, and left Sejanus in charge of the government. Sejanus then plotted to overthrow him. The plot was discovered.

Tiberius ordered the execution of Sejanus. In the final years of his reign, Tiberius instituted a series of treason trials which gave him a bad reputation. Some modern historians think that ancient accounts of these were exaggerated and that there were fewer trials and fewer executions that it was claimed.
