Tiberius

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Tiberius (42 BC–AD 37)

Roman emperor, the stepson, adopted son, and successor of Augustus from AD 14. He was a cautious ruler whose reign was marred by the heavy incident of trials for treason or conspiracy. Tiberius fell under the influence of Sejanus who encouraged the emperor's fear of assassination and was instrumental in Tiberius' departure from Rome to Caprae (Capri). He never returned to Rome.
