Historical background
TIBERIUS, NERO and DRUSUS CAESARES
(14-31)
Nero and Drusus were Caligula's older brothers. They were victims of the vindictiveness of Tiberius towards the family of Germanicus. Sejanus had pushed to exile Agrippina mother on the island of Pandoria. Nero, meanwhile, was relegated to the island of Pontia. In 31, thanks to the intervention of Antonia, Séjan is unmasked and killed on the order of Tiberius. Livia, the wife of Drusus, the son of Tiberius whom she had poisoned, dies of hunger. In 33, it was the turn of Drusus and his mother Agrippina to perish a slow death. Caligula remained the last male descendant of the line of Germanicus and Augustus.
