Historical background
GERMANICUS
(+19) restitution of CALIGULA
Consecration of Caligula
Germanicus is the eldest son of Nero Drusus and Antonia. He was born in 15 BC and was adopted in 4 at the same time as Tiberius. He leads numerous campaigns on the Rhine-Danubian limes and receives the triumph in 17. He is then sent to Syria with a proconsular imperium and dies in 19 in Antioch, perhaps assassinated by Pison, at the instigation of Tiberius (Suetonius ). He is the father of Caligula and young Agrippina as well as the brother of Claude.
