	Tiberius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	The Internet Classics Archive \| The Annals by Tacitus
		Sejanus, it is said, having seduced Livia into crime, next secured, by the foulest means, the consent of Lygdus, the eunuch, as from his youth and beauty he was his master's favourite, and one of his principal attendants.
		Sejanus when he saw that the death of Drusus was not avenged on the murderers and was no grief to the people, grew bold in wickedness, and, now that his first attempt had succeeded, speculated on the possibility of destroying the children of Germanicus, whose succession to the throne was a certainty.
		Sejanus meanwhile yet more deeply alarmed the sorrowing and unsuspecting woman by sending his agents, under the guise of friendship, with warnings that poison was prepared for her, and that she ought to avoid her father-in-law's table.

		Sejanus was left in charge as regent, and he would soon use that new power to advance his own personal agenda and nearly completely destroy the Julio-Claudian line.
		Sejanus did attempt to marry Livilla, the wife of Tiberius' son Drusus, but Tiberius blocked this as a measure of social conformity (Sejanus was still an equestrian and Livilla was a member of a noble family of the highest order).
		Sejanus was betrothed to Livilla's daughter, and by 31 AD, he was named joint consul with Tiberius (an honorary compliment indicating that he was the official heir).

		In his confinement, Sejanus might have hoped for a sentence of exile, rather then death, but the Senate knew to act quickly, before Sejanus got any bright ideas of what to do with the 9,000 crack troops of the Praetorian Guard under his command.
		Sejanus’ uncle and son were also killed, as well as many of his friends and collaborators.
		Livilla, to whom Sejanus was engaged, found little mercy, although she was a member of the Imperial household.

	ACCLA - XII Caesars - Emperor Tiberius
		Sejanus was able to deceive Tiberius into believing that multiple plots against the emperor were in progress.
		In one case, Sejanus probably conspired with Tiberius' daughter in law to murder Tiberius' son Drusus, who Sejanus feared was jealous of Sejanus' power.
		Sejanus was able to move Tiberius to action on many occasions, causing him to remove many people from his affection and from political power, and at one point getting himself selected consul along with Tiberius, a position which made his selection as successor to Tiberius probable.

		The plot of "Sejanus" revolves around the homicidal schemes of the title character, a henchman of the savage ruler Tiberius, the latter played at the Globe by Shakespeare himself, in what is believed to be his last stage appearance.
		In the words of a 20th-century critic, "Sejanus" suggests that "the ultimate reality of politics is the amoral struggle for power in which the fittest survive." Jonson brings impressive poetic resources and moral discrimination to a presciently Orwellian parable of political devolution.
		"Sejanus" is part of a season of plays the RSC created to greet the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, the major act of religious terrorism in the Jacobean era.

		Sejanus took advantage of this and offered up to Caesar the names of senators he claimed were not loyal to Rome.
		Sejanus hoped to consolidate his power as well as advance himself in the confidence of the emperor, hoping perhaps to become co-consul with Tiberius.

	New Testament Chronology - Pilate, Sejanus and 33
		Sejanus' power grew, and by 23 CE the citizens of Rome were erecting statues of him (Roman History LVII 21:3).
		The contention is that Pilate's earlier oppressive activities were with the support of Sejanus, and that his submissive attitude at the trial was because Sejanus was then dead.
		After the death of Sejanus, Tiberius sent "presents to the legions in Syria because they alone had consecrated no image of Sejanus among their standards." (Suetonius, Tiberius 48) Without military support Pilate would have had difficulty enforcing policies supposedly emanating from Sejanus.

		William Houston's superb Sejanus is a pony-tailed, bisexual adventurer for whom power is the ultimate aphrodisiac: I shall long remember his triumphant leap at the prospect of becoming Tiberius's heir.
		The distance between us and Sejanus is so different from the bond we form with Volpone, yet both plays have at their heart a master-parasite relationship (as Billington notes).

	Londonist: Stage Whispers: Sejanus His Fall by Ben Jonson
		During Tiberius' reign, Rome is politically divided, with supporters of the emperor and Sejanus on one side, and the republicans, loyal to the late Germanicus, on the other.
		Manic ambition drives Sejanus to plot the murder of Emperor Tiberius' son, Drusus, and seduce Drusus’ widow, in an attempt to make himself the Emperor's new son-in-law, and then wheedle his way into becoming his heir.
		As a play, Sejanus lacks certain character developments present in other, more popular tragedies; nevertheless, this ensemble certainly entertain on a much higher level than the bunch of weirdoes playing another power game on TV just at the moment.

		Sejanus, loaded with erudition as it is in the 1605 quarto, is clearly the result of that transformation, but so too, in its way, is Volpone.
		Both the address 'To the Readers' of Sejanus and the prologue to Volpone make it clear that he has been reading the 'best' neo-classical critics and in both plays making some attempt to put their precepts into practice.
		Webster, who is usually thought to be echoing the Sejanus preface in his own address 'To the reader' of The White Devil, uses the expressions 'height of style, and gravity of persons' as his examples of the critical laws (White Devil, edited Brennan (London, 1966), 5).

	The Annals [of Ancient Rome] by Cornelius Tacitus: book 6
		It was really not Sejanus of Vulsinii, it was a member of the Claudian and Julian houses, in which he had taken a position by his marriage alliance, it was your son-in-law, Caesar, your partner in the consulship, the man who administered your political functions, whom we courted.
		She had lived on, sustained by hope, I suppose, after the destruction of Sejanus, and, when she found no abatement of horrors, had voluntarily perished though possibly nourishment was refused her and a fiction concocted of a death that might seem self-chosen.
		The emperor further observed that she died on the same day on which Sejanus had paid the penalty of his crime two years before, a fact, he said, to be recorded; and he made it a boast that she had not been strangled by the halter and flung down the Gemonian steps.

	The Praetorian prefecture under the Julio-Claudians – path to power or dead-end job?
		Sejanus also thought he had the backing of the Praetorians, but found out how surprisingly easy it was for them to change their allegiance to a new commander when the emperor commanded it and promised rewards,[38] although their change of heart was not a given in any case.
		Sejanus had tried to have the people consider him as a second Agrippa[43] to counter this impression of lowly birth in the eyes of the people and the Senate, but this did not seem to work very well.
		Sejanus, however, did not seem to have been actively plotting against Tiberius’s life itself.[52] Indeed, even when he knew that all did not quite seem right in his relations with Tiberius, he did not attempt a coup.[53] But the plot against Gaius was a definite possibility.

	[No title]
		Sejanus: His Fall by Ben Jonson Transcriber's note: This play is based on events that happend a millenia and a half before Jonson wrote it.
		He reprobated this slipshod amateurishness, and wrote his "Sejanus" like a scholar, reading Tacitus, Suetonius, and other authorities, to be certain of his facts, his setting, and his atmosphere, and somewhat pedantically noting his authorities in the margin when he came to print.
		"Sejanus" is a tragedy of genuine dramatic power in which is told with discriminating taste the story of the haughty favourite of Tiberius with his tragical overthrow.

		Politically, the state is divided between the controlling faction of Sejanus and Tiberius and that of Agrippina, widow of the Roman hero Germanicus.
		Sejanus and Tiberius disappear from the action for the fourth act, though Rome’s corruption continues to function without them, as further Agrippinians are entrapped into making compromising statements by informants, then arrested for treason.
		Sejanus is executed and his body thrown to the mob, which tears it to pieces, initiating a slaughter of his family and allies that devolves into a bloodbath—his young daughter is even raped before her execution so as not to commit the ‘sacrilege’ of executing a virgin.
