At the same time Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, one of the most violent and ambitious of the old nobility, was sent as governor of Syria to watch his movements.
The chief motive for his journey, was love of travel and antiquarian study, and it seems never to have occurred to him, till he was warned by Tiberius, that he was thereby transgressing an unwritten law which forbade any Roman of rank to set foot in Egypt without express permission.
Violent recriminations followed, the result of which, it would seem, was a promise on the part of Piso to quit the province.

 Dio's Roman History Book 57
Here was a particularly good illustration of the democratic form of government, inasmuch as the senate, agreeing with the motion of Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, overruled Drusus and Tiberius, only to be thwarted in its turn by the tribune.
Piso later returned to Rome and was brought before the senate on the charge of murder by Tiberius himself, who thus endeavoured to clear himself of the suspicion of having destroyed Germanicus; but Piso secured a postponement of his trial and committed suicide.
For not one of the men what had every been consul with Tiberius failed to meet a violent death; but in the first place there was Quintilius Varus, and next Gnaeus Piso, and then Germanicus himself, all of whom died violent and miserable deaths.

 Germanicus biography
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.
