 | | Tiberius now recalled him and bestowed upon him the honor of a triumph, in which Thusnelda appeared among the captives. |
 | | As Tacitus explains it, to rid himself of Germanicus, whose popularity seemed to render him dangerous, Tiberius sent him, in 17 A.D., with extensive authority, to settle affairs in the East, at the same time appointing as Viceroy of Syria Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, who everywhere counteracted the influence of Germanicus. |
 | | Germanicus died at Epidaphne, near Antioch, Oct. 10, 19 A.D. His friends charged that he bad been poisoned, at Tiberius' orders, by the wife of Piso; modern scholars incline rather to the belief that he died a natural death. |
