Drusus, it seems, resented Sejanus's influence over his father so the Prefect, in conjunction with Livilla, poisoned him in A.D.

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.

Drusus wore a dark travelling cloak,[7] and from underneath it peeped his tunic, with its stripe of narrow purple--the badge of the Roman equestrian order.[8] On his finger was another emblem of nobility--a large, plain, gold ring, conspicuous among several other rings with costly settings.
Quintus Drusus had had kindly guardians; he had been sent for four years to the "University" at Athens; had studied rhetoric and philosophy; and now he was back with his career before him,--master of himself, of a goodly fortune, of a noble inheritance of high-born ancestry.
Drusus had been surveying the boy, and saw that though he was now in a pitiable enough state, he had been good-looking; and that though his back had been cruelly marred, his face had not been cut with the lashes.

 caesar
Caesar Augustus had no son and adopted several men as his successor; his grandsons Caius and Lucius received the name Caesar, later Agrippa Postumus, and finally Tiberius, who eventually succeeded Rome's first emperor.
By now, caesar was no longer a name, but a title that could be used by the emperor himself -who could also call himself Augustus- and the intended successor, who was appointed by adoption.
The exception that proves the rule is Vitellius (69), who preferred to see himself as consul perpetuus, 'forever consul': the title of caesar was, in his view, too much associated with monarchy, and he wanted a title with republican connotations.
