Tiberius (42 BCE to 37 CE) was the second Roman emperor, who reigned from 14 to 37 CE. The adopted son of Augustus, he led a long and tormented life of service to the Roman Empire before becoming princeps (emperor) in 14 CE. Though he was never popular, his rule started off well. But his jealousy towards his heir Germanicus and his aloofness during the treason trials orchestrated by the crafty Praetorian prefect Lucius Aelius Sejanus lost him any goodwill that he had with the Roman Senate. He spent his final years alone, in voluntary seclusion on the island of Capri, until his death in 37 CE.
