Tang Zhaozong said: "Yes, your people have nothing to say. ”

Tiberius was born into the famous "Claudius" family that was handed down during the republican period. Tiberius's father, Claudius Nero, served as Caesar's treasurer in the last years of the Republic. After the assassination of Caesar in 44 BC, he wandered in chaos, and it was not until the formation of the latter triumvirate that he joined Mark Antony's side, and the situation in the country stabilized slightly. Later, at the request of Octavian (the first emperor of the Roman Empire, Augustus, known as Augustus), Livia remarried Octavian. Tiberius's biological father, Claudius Nero, died shortly after his divorce from Livia.

Tiberius spent his childhood in hardship and sorrow from an early age. Before the establishment of the latter triumvirate, he often followed his parents to escape from the enemy in Sicily, Achaia, and other places. After his mother Livia remarried in 39 BCE, Tiberius and his brother Drusus became Octavian's sons.

When Tiberius came of age, he began his public life under the care of Augustus. He served as the commander of the legions, settled the Armenian throne in the East, and claimed from the Parthians the banners that had been taken from them after the defeat of the Crassus. He also fought wars with the Gallic and Germanic tribes in Gaul and Pannonia outside the mountains, and won victories. In 9 BC and 7 BC, he was honored with a triumphal ceremony in Rome.

In addition, he served as treasurer, **, and consul, and in 6 BC he was also granted the privilege of tribune for 5 years.

Tiberius was originally married to Vispaña, and the couple had a close relationship and had a son (Drusus the Younger). In 12 BC, Augustus' friend and son-in-law, Agrippa, died. In order to stabilize the foundation of the royal heir, Augustus forced Tiberius to divorce Vispaña and marry his daughter Julia instead. Tiberius painfully accepted this request and had a son with Julia. But after the death of their son, Tiberius became disgusted with his wife, and the relationship between the couple broke down.

As Augustus's three grandchildren grew up: Postumus, Rucius, and Gaius (who were the sons of Julia and Agrippa), Tiberius was the eldest of Augustus's heirs and the first to have already made a mark. On the one hand, he did not want to be a problem in Augustus's inheritance, and on the other hand, he did not want to live with his wife anymore. So in 6 B.C., on the pretext of his ill health, he refused the plea of his mother Livia, resolutely asked to retire, and resolutely sailed to Rhodes, where he lived the life of an ordinary citizen.

Later, Yulia was accused of adultery, and Augustus exercised his "paternal rights" to exile Yulia. The eldest grandson, Postumus, behaved absurdly and debauchery, and was also exiled by Augustus. Prior to this, another of Tiberius's brothers, Drusus, also died. Due to the emptiness of the royal family, Tiberius finally returned to Rome in 2 AD, but he remained politically disengaged.

A few years later, Augustus's only remaining grandsons, Rucius and Gaius, died, leaving Tiberius as the only suitable adult heir to the throne. He adopted his nephew Germanicus as his stepson and restarted the country's political career.

Tiberius resumes the Germanic campaign. He regrouped his troops with strict discipline and washed away the atmosphere of Varus's previous defeat in the Teutonic Forest. Tiberius crossed the Rhine and defeated the Brooktrines. In 12 he returned to Rome and held a triumphal ceremony.

On August 19, 14 A.D., Augustus died of illness. Tiberius was unanimously agreed by the Senate to legally inherit all the rights of Augustus - to have Tiberius succeed him as Roman Emperor.

In 14 AD, Tiberius succeeded him as emperor in Rome. But at this time, the two military districts on the border of the empire: the Germanic military district (Rhine valley) and the Ililicum military district (Danube valley), both mutinies took place. They took advantage of the situation at the time of Augustus' death to make demands for welfare; They demanded retirement, improved salaries, reduced labor burdens, and accused the commanders of bullying, which the local officers and regimental commanders could not stop. Tiberius sent two envoys to deal with it.

Tiberius's son, Drusus the Younger, reached Illikum and was nearly killed by an agitated group of soldiers. Later, he took advantage of the panic caused by a lunar eclipse to unite the centurions of the camps and gather active and noisy soldiers to kill, and quickly quelled the commotion. On the other hand, Tiberius sent his stepson Germanicus to the Germanic military region to deal with the incident, but the Lower Germanic Legion was unwilling to accept it, so Germanicus led the Upper Germanic Legion loyal to him, and attacked the Lower Germanic camp to suppress the disobedient elements in the Germanic Legion.

In the early days of his reign, Tiberius sought to be lenient. He had a modest attitude and rejected titles such as "Father of the Nation" and "Commander-in-Chief"; He revered the Senate, imitated the custom of the republican period, and personally reported to the Senate on the affairs of the state, no matter how big or small; He often attends court hearings to prevent bribery and corruption. He advocated freedom of speech, except in the case of insults to Augustus, and he did not hold anyone accountable for offending him or his family. He had spoken to the Senate about his position: "Senators, a supporter through you"

Tiberius's economic policy was basically a conservative one. After the previous government expanded its spending, he limited state spending. He cut spending on entertainment and performance, limited the consumption of luxury goods, and led by example to encourage thrift.

Tiberius paid attention to public order, exterminated bandits and suppressed illegal riots. The greatest influence on later generations was the establishment of a 6,000-strong "Guards Infantry Brigade" and stationed them in the city of Rome, which became another basis for the consolidation of imperial power.
