Drusus, Nero Claudius

    0.04 sec.

Drusus, Nero Claudius (38–9 BC)

Roman general, younger brother of the future emperor Tiberius. He helped Tiberius to subdue the Rhaeti and Vindelici 13 BC, and in the course of three campaigns against the Germans beyond the Rhine 12–9 BC he advanced as far as the Elbe. On the return journey he was thrown from his horse, and died 30 days later.

Drusus was popular with the army and the people because of his distinguished military ability, appearance and manner. He married Antonia, daughter of Mark Antony, and they had three children, Germanicus Caesar, Livilla, and the future emperor Claudius I.
