 Tiberius
Tiberius was born in 42 BC, the son of the aristocratic Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia Drusilla.
Though Tiberius, a large, strong man, had been groomed by Augustus as his successor, he was actually the fourth choice after Agrippa, husband of Augustus' only daughter Julia, and their sons, Gaius and Lucius, all three of whom died in the lifetime of Augustus.
Tiberius then drew up his will, indecisive to the very end, he left Gaius and Gemellus (Tiberius' own grandson) as joint heirs, but is was obvious that it would be by now twenty-four year-old Gaius who would truly succeed him.

Tiberius Caesar Augustus, born Tiberius Claudius Nero (November 16, 42 BC–March 16 AD 37), was the second Roman Emperor, from the death of Caesar Augustus in AD 14 until his own death in 37.
Tiberius was by birth a Claudian—son of Tiberius Nero and Livia, but through his adoption by Augustus—who was both his stepfather and father-in-law—he became a Julian.
Tiberius, perhaps sensitive to this ambition, rejected Sejanus's initial proposal to marry Livilla in 25 AD, but later put it about that he had withdrawn his objections so that, in 30 AD, Sejanus was betrothed to Livilla's daughter (Tiberius' granddaughter).

In 32, Gaius moved in with the aging emperor at Capri, and from that point on he was groomed to be the successor, with a grandson, Tiberius Gemellus.
Gaius possessed little experience in government, but Tiberius, sharing the debaucheries with his nephew and indulging his every vicious habit, once remarked that he was nursing a viper for the Roman people.
Tiberius died in 37, and while historians have charged Gaius with his murder, it is unlikely, considering the aged emperor's state of health.

This accords perfectly with S.'s thesis, for, if Tiberius really respected traditional ancestral values, he would not have dared to contravene the sanctity of the Roman institution of pietas, which a son was expected to show to his father (and to his memory).
In all, S.'s monograph on Tiberius is a highly readable (arguably more so than Levick's more detailed volume), concise and handy political history of Tiberius' reign, with sufficient attention paid to the emperor's personality, and generally insightful commentary and interpretation of the ancient source material.
Levick's book on Tiberius is even more oriented towards the political side of the equation, as the name of her monograph implies.
