 Tiberius Information - Articles Free   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
His reign is marked by terror and mayhem in which the Emperor exiled himself from Rome and left administration in the hands of Lucius Aelius Sejanus, who used his influence over Tiberius and his position in the Praetorian Guard to push his own political agenda and personal revenges.
Gaius Caesar and Lucius Caesar were still too young to assume the heavy responsibilities of the Principate, and Augustus now had no immediate successor to assume power and see the boys to maturity, since Tiberius's brother Drusus had died of an illness in 9 BC.
That advisor was the Praetorian Prefect, Lucius Aelius Sejanus, who would derail Tiberius's plans for the succession and drive the emperor farther into isolation, depression, and paranoia.

 Liturgical Calendar Part I
We venerate Aelius Caesar as the fallen Prince of Flowers, the spiritual twin brother of Antinous whose death is the end of the Saturnalia.
When Hadrian met Antinous in the year 123, Lucius was 22 years old, and in keeping with the Greek philosophy of pederastic love, it is very likely that their love affair had transformed into what would become a life-long friendship between the Emperor and his now matured Lucius.
While Hadrian was courting the young Antinous, Lucius married Domitia Lucilla and had three children by her, one of which was the later Emperor known as Lucius Verus who is often confused with his father.

 [No title]
Lucius Aelius had a double cognomen, for he was called Praeconius, because his father was a herald; Stilo, because he was in the habit of composing orations for most of the speakers of highest rank; indeed, he was so strong a partisan of the nobles, that he accompanied Quintus Metellus Numidicus [853] in his exile.
CORNELIUS EPICADIUS, a freedman of Lucius Cornelius Sylla, the dictator, was his apparitor in the Augural priesthood, and much beloved by his son Faustus; so that he was proud to call himself the freedman of both.
LUCIUS OCTACILIUS PILITUS is said to have been a slave, and, according to the old custom, chained to the door like a watch-dog [911]; until, having been presented with his freedom for his genius and devotion to learning, he drew up for his patron the act of accusation in a cause he was prosecuting.

 MARCUS
After the death of Aelius Caesar, Hadrian adopted Marcus' uncle, Antonius Pius, who in turn adopted Marcus and the son of Aelius Caesar, Lucius Ceionius Commodus.
They ruled jointly, though Lucius was less competent and was clearly more interested in his own pleasure than his duties to Rome.
After Lucius' death in 169, Marcus was named the sole ruler.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope St. Eleutherius
Pope Eleutherius, says this writer, received from Lucius, a British king, a letter in which the latter declared that by his behest he wishes to become a Christian (Hic accepit epistula a Lucio Brittanio rege, ut Christianus efficerentur per ejus mandatum).
The king in question is, therefore, Lucius Ælius Septimus Megas Abgar IX, of Edessa, a Christian king, as is well known.
In this way Lucius, the early missionary of the Swiss district of Chur, became identified with the alleged British king of the "Liber Pontificalis".

Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus (originally Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus) (August 31, 161–December 31, 192 AD) was a Roman Emperor who ruled from 180 to 192.
He is often considered to have been one of the worst Roman Emperors, in the mold of Nero and Caligula, and his reign brought to a close the era of the "five good emperors".
The months of the calendar were all renamed in his honour (Lucius, Aelius, Aurelius, Commodus, Augustus, Herculeus, Romanus, Exsuperatorius, Amazonius, Invictus, Felix, Pius [1]), and the Senate was renamed as the Commodian Fortunate Senate.

 J. Shaw: The Printed Dictionary in France Before 1539: A.1.2
This comprehensive work on the Latin language owes much to the Stoic teaching of Aelius Stilo, and to the grammar of Dionysius Thrax (Sandys 1921: I, 179).
Jerome's tutor during his time in Rome was the grammarian and rhetorician Aelius Donatus, whom Collison (1982: 36) describes as "the most eminent teacher of his age".
Hunt (1991: I, 83) remarks that Donatus's "reputation rests largely on his two grammars which were almost entirely lacking in originality but proved to be of great practical utility." The grammars are the shorter (Ars minor), which deals only with the parts of speech, and the longer (Ars maior or Ars secunda).

After Marcus Aurelius died (probably of the plague) on the Danube in 180, Commodus who (contrary to the movie) was present on the frontier, ended Rome's German wars by making important strategic concessions to the German tribes.
He went so far as to have a special platform built which would permit him to fight animals (while protecting himself) and fought and killed animals with his bare hands.
He changed his name to "Lucius, Aelius, Aurelius, Commodus, Augustus, Herculeus, Romanus, Exsuperatorius, Amazonius, Invictus, Felix, Pius" and renamed the months in the calendar after himself (i.e., January become "Lucius," February became "Aelius," etc.).
