Document Summary
Although tiberius was an excellent administrator, he was not a people person . He was always at odds with his mother, livia, and with the supporters of germanicus, his nephew and adopted son, and after. Germanicus died, with his widow, agrippina, the granddaughter of augustus. Pulled from many sides, he moved to the island of capri in a. d. 26 and never returned to rome, not even for his mother"s funeral in a. d 29. He uncovered a plot against himself by his praetorian perfect, l. aelius sejanus, in a. d. 31, but still remained on the island. Among the more notable events of this reign was the crucifixion of jesus in. 6 b. c: a decree went out from caesar augustus that a census be carried out for the whole world. Jesus was born during the reign of king heroa (heroa the great), who, although he rebuilt the temple, was generally not loved by his jewish subjects.
