Tiberius

Tiberius (Tiberius Caesar Divi Augusti filius Augustus) was the second princeps of Rome. He was the first properly Julio-Claudian emperor, being Claudian by blood but adopted into the Julian family by Augustus.

Tiberius was murdered by Macro, a Praetorian Guard, probably on the orders of his successor Gaius.

Unlike his predecessor, Tiberius was not well liked, but - either as a ploy to gain support or due to his personal beliefs - he was modest and refused to accept many honours that were given to Augustus.
