Tiberius (/taɪˈbɪəriəs/; Laitin: Tiberius Caesar Divi Augusti filius Augustus;[1][2] 16 November 42 BC – 16 Mairch 37 AD) wis Roman Emperor frae 14 AD tae 37 AD. Born Tiberius Claudius Nero, a Claudian, Tiberius wis the son o Tiberius Claudius Nero an Livia Drusilla. His mither divorced Nero an married Augustus in 39 BC, makin him a step-son o Octavian.
Tiberius wad later mairy Augustus' dauchter (frae his mairiage tae Scribonia), Julia the Elder, an even later be adoptit bi Augustus, bi that act he offeecially becam a Julian, bearin the name Tiberius Julius Caesar. The subsequent emperors efter Tiberius wad conteena this blendit dynasty o baith faimilies for the follaein thirty years; historians hae named it the Julio-Claudian dynasty. In relations tae the ither emperors o this dynasty, Tiberius wis the stepson o Augustus, grand-uncle o Caligula, paternal uncle o Claudius, an great-grand uncle o Nero. His 22-an-a-hauf-year ring wad be the langest efter Augustus's till Antoninus Pius, wha surpassed his ring bi a few months in 161.
Tiberius wis ane o the greatest Roman generals; his conquest o Pannonia, Dalmatia, Raetia, an temporarily, pairts o Germania, laid the foondations for the northren frontier. But he cam tae be rememmered as a daurk, reclusive, an sombre ruler that niver really desired tae be emperor; Pliny the Elder cried him tristissimus hominum, "the gloomiest o men."[3]
Efter the daith o Tiberius’ son Drusus Julius Caesar in 23 AD, he becam mair reclusive an abeich. In 26 AD Tiberius remuived himsel frae Roum an left admeenistration lairgely in the haunds o his unscrupulous Praetorian prefects Lucius Aelius Sejanus an Quintus Naevius Sutorius Macro.
Caligula, Tiberius' grand-neffae an adoptit grandson, succeedit Tiberius upon his daith.[4]
