 Augustus and Tiberius

 Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus (42 BC-AD 37) was successor to Augustus and second emperor of Rome.
Tiberius was, therefore, the stepson of the future emperor and later became both his adopted son and heir, as well as his son-in-law.

One of his first official acts was the proclamation of the divinity of Augustus and the establishment of worship of the emperor-god.
