Nero Claudius Drusus, later Drusus Julius Caesar (adoptive name; 13 BC – 14 September AD 23), was the only child of Roman EmperorTiberius and his first wife, Vipsania Agrippina. He was also a maternal cousin of the Emperor Caligula, a paternal cousin of the Emperor Claudius and a first cousin once removed of the Emperor Nero.
Biography
He was born on 7 October 13 BC with the name Nero Claudius Drusus, and is also known to historians as Drusus II, Drusus the Younger and Drusus Minor. Drusus was named after his paternal uncle the general Drusus the Elder, who was Tiberius' younger brother. He was born and raised in Rome. Drusus was the first grandchild of the statesman Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and his first wife Caecilia Attica.
Despite his violent temper, Drusus showed promise with both military and politics. In AD 13, he was made a permanent member of the Senate committee Augustus had founded to draw up the Senate's daily business. However, because Drusus was only related to the Claudian side of the family, rather than both the Julians and Claudians, Augustus forced Tiberius to adopt Germanicus, who was married to Augustus's granddaughter, as his son and heir, removing Drusus from the succession. In 14, after the death of Augustus, Drusus suppressed a mutiny in Pannonia. In 15 he became a consul. He was also governor of Illyricum from 17 to 20. In 21 he was consul again, significantly with his father Tiberius as his colleague, while in 22 he received tribunicia potestas (tribunician power), a distinction reserved solely for the emperor or his immediate successor.

Tiberius – The Twisted Roman Emperor
Tiberius was born in 42 BCE, two years after the death of Julius Caesar. When the Emperor Augustus took a fancy to his mother he was thrust into the nest of vipers that was the Imperial Palace.
He tried to avoid politics and never really wanted to be emperor and when he finally got the job in his fifties he started well.
But something changed, turning him into a tyrannical self-absorbed recluse –pursuing perverse pleasures and becoming increasingly suspicious of the world and everyone in it.
This video explores what could have transformed the solid, if slightly unimaginative Tiberius into the murderous monster he became in later life?

Tiberius – The Twisted Roman Emperor
Tiberius was born in 42 BCE, two years after the death of Julius Caesar. When the Emperor Augustus took a fancy to his mother he was thrust into the nest of vipers that was the Imperial Palace.
He tried to avoid politics and never really wanted to be emperor and when he finally got the job in his fifties he started well.
But something changed, turning him into a tyrannical self-absorbed recluse –pursuing perverse pleasures and becoming increasingly suspicious of the world and everyone in it.
This video explores what could have transformed the solid, if slightly unimaginative Tiberius into the murderous monster he became in later life?
Finding Out More:
There is no better starting point than the almost contemporary histories of Suetonius (The 12 Caesars) and Tacitus (The Annals). These are widely available as free downloads.

Biography
He was born on 7 October 13 BC with the name Nero Claudius Drusus, and is also known to historians as Drusus II, Drusus the Younger and Drusus Minor. Drusus was named after his paternal uncle the general Drusus the Elder, who was Tiberius' younger brother. He was born and raised in Rome. Drusus was the first grandchild of the statesman Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and his first wife Caecilia Attica.
Despite his violent temper, Drusus showed promise with both military and politics. In AD 13, he was made a permanent member of the Senate committee Augustus had founded to draw up the Senate's daily business. However, because Drusus was only related to the Claudian side of the family, rather than both the Julians and Claudians, Augustus forced Tiberius to adopt Germanicus, who was married to Augustus's granddaughter, as his son and heir, removing Drusus from the succession. In 14, after the death of Augustus, Drusus suppressed a mutiny in Pannonia. In 15 he became a consul. He was also governor of Illyricum from 17 to 20. In 21 he was consul again, significantly with his father Tiberius as his colleague, while in 22 he received tribunicia potestas (tribunician power), a distinction reserved solely for the emperor or his immediate successor.
i can no longer pretend lonely as green eyes can get i'm singing blues in a room painted yellow with hope covering plaster and bricks yes there's no reason to cry dear things seeming sweet in your eyes i'm sadder for knowing how i shouldn't be considering all of the good things around me but love forgot me when she passed through seems i wasn't deemed worthy but i know she'll be around again soon don't forget me please don't forget me but for you the heartache would kill me you are the first in my heart and i know that you know what you're doing up there but in the meantime i'm impatient down here 'cos love forgot me when she passed through seems i wasn't deemed worthy this early but i know she'll be around again soon don't forget me please don't forget
