Drusus had his legionaries dig a huge channel through the Batavians' tribal area, from the Rhine to the Zuider lake (Ijsselsea): From there his Rhine fleet could safely reach the North Sea's Germanic coast without risking the long detour from the Rhine delta.

Drusus set up a fortified army camp in the border region between the tribal areas of the Cheruscans and the Sugambrians, in order to prevent both tribes from unified action in the future.

Tiberius, despite having a natural son, was required to adopt his nephew, Germanicus, the son of his brother Drusus and married to M. Antony's daughter, Antonia.
Drusus, it seems, resented Sejanus's influence over his father so the Prefect, in conjunction with Livilla, poisoned him in A.D. There followed a series of attacks on Agrippina's friends, mostly played out in the courts in the guise of charges of treason (maiestas) but, in Tacitus's account, actually the work of Sejanus.
In rapid succession Agrippina and her eldest son, Nero Caesar, and eventually also Drusus Caesar, who had been involved in his brother's downfall, were arrested, convicted, and imprisoned.
