  Tiberius - MSN Encarta
Tiberius was born Tiberius Claudius Nero Caesar in Rome on November 16, 42 bc.
When Tiberius returned to Rome in ad 2, Julia had been banished for adultery, and within two years the deaths of both the young grandsons of Augustus, Lucius (died ad 2) and Gaius (died ad 4), paved the way for the adoption of Tiberius as heir to the imperial dignity.
Tiberius also succeeded in quelling formidable insurrections in Pannonia and Dalmatia, and finally in securing the frontier and taking vengeance upon the Germans, who had annihilated the army of the Roman general Publius Quintilius Varus (died ad 9) in the Teutoburger Wald in ad 9.

 Tacitus and Tiberius   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Tiberius was also suspected of having orchestrated the death of Germanicus, of whom he was supposed to be jealous.
The reign of Tiberius also saw the immorality of Livia, "the niece of Augustus, the daughter-in-law of Tiberius, the mother of children by Drusus...[who] for a provincial paramour, foully disgraced herself, her ancestors, and her descendants, giving up honour and a sure position for prospects as base as they were uncertain" (IV.3).
Tiberius' disapproval was highly justified and his reasoning that "the spectacle of the slain and unburied made the army slow to fight and more afraid of the enemy" astute, but instead is suspected by Tacitus to be partly because Tiberius " [interprets] unfavourably every act of Germanicus" (I.62).

Tiberius after this acquitted the young Piso of the charge of civil war on the ground that a son could not have refused a father's orders, compassionating at the same time the high rank of the family and the terrible down-fall even of Piso himself, however he might have deserved it.
Tiberius however considered the war as finished, and awarded Blaesus the further distinction of being hailed "Imperator" by the legions, an ancient honour conferred on generals who for good service to the State were saluted with cheers of joyful enthusiasm by a victorious army.

But Matthew (x, 3) and Mark (iii, 18) state that James the Less was "the son of Alpheus." According to John (compare John xix, 25 with Matthew xxvii, 56) Cleophas was their father.
