He was the stepson of Augustus, the first Roman emperor, and played a significant role during the early years of the Roman Empire. Tiberius is a notable figure in the New Testament context, as his reign coincides with the ministry of John the Baptist and the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ.<br><br><b>Historical Context</b><br><br>Tiberius was born on November 16, 42 BC, to Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia Drusilla. After his mother married Augustus, Tiberius was adopted by Augustus and became his heir. Tiberius was a capable military leader and administrator, but his reign was marked by political intrigue and a retreat from public life in his later years.<br><br><b>Biblical References</b><br><br>Tiberius is explicitly mentioned in the Gospel of Luke, which provides a chronological marker for the beginning of John the Baptist's ministry: "In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness" (<a href="/luke/3.htm">Luke 3:1</a>). This reference is crucial for dating the events of the New Testament, as it places the start of John's ministry around AD 29.<br><br><b>Role in the New Testament Era</b><br><br>During Tiberius's reign, the Roman Empire maintained control over Judea, where Jesus conducted His ministry. The political environment under Tiberius was characterized by Roman authority and influence, which is evident in the interactions between Roman officials and Jewish leaders in the Gospels. The presence of Roman authority is seen in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, where Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, played a pivotal role.<br><br><b>Governance and Policies</b><br><br>Tiberius's governance was marked by a continuation of Augustus's policies, emphasizing stability and consolidation of the empire. However, his later years were overshadowed by his withdrawal to the island of Capri and the increasing influence of the Praetorian Prefect Sejanus, whose ambition and eventual downfall created a climate of fear and suspicion in Rome.<br><br><b>Legacy and Impact</b><br><br>Tiberius's reign is often viewed through the lens of his complex personality and the political challenges of his time. For the early Christians, the reign of Tiberius set the stage for the events that would lead to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, foundational events for the Christian faith. The political and social dynamics of the Roman Empire under Tiberius provided a backdrop for the spread of the Gospel, as the Pax Romana facilitated travel and communication across the empire.<br><br>Tiberius's role in the New Testament narrative, though indirect, is significant for understanding the historical and political context of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. His reign represents a period of transition and consolidation in the Roman Empire, which had lasting implications for the early Christian church.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Tiberius</span><p>the son of Tiber<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Tiberius</span><p>(in full, Tiberius Claudius Nero), the second Roman emperor, successor of Augustus, who began to reign A.D. 14 and reigned until A.D. 37. He was the son of Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia, and hence a stepson of Augustus. He was born at Rome on the 18th of November, B.C. 45. He became emperor in his fifty-fifth year, after having distinguished himself as a commander in various wars, and having evinced talents of a high order as an orator and an administrator of civil affairs. He even gained the reputation of possessing the sterner virtues of the Roman character, and was regarded as entirely worthy of the imperial honors to which his birth and supposed personal merits at length opened the way. Yet, on being raised to the supreme power, he suddenly became, or showed himself to be a very different man. His subsequent life was one of inactivity, sloth and self-indulgence. He was despotic in his government, cruel and vindictive in his disposition. He died A.D. 37, at the age of 78, after a reign of twenty-three years.

Name and Parentage:<br><br>The 2nd Roman emperor; full name Tiberius Claudius Nero, and official name as emperor Tiberius Caesar Augustus; born November 16, 42 B.C. His father-of the same name-had been an officer under Julius Caesar and had later joined Antony against Octavian (Augustus). His mother was Livia, who became the 3rd wife of Augustus; thus Tiberius was a stepson of Augustus.<br><br>2. Early Life and Relation to Augustus:<br><br>Much of his early life was spent in successful campaigning. Although the ablest of the possible heirs of Augustus, Tiberius was subjected to many an indignity, Augustus accepting him as his successor only when every other hope failed. When Julia, daughter of Augustus, became a widow for the second time (12 B.C.), Tiberius was obliged to marry her (11 B.C.) in order to become protector of the future emperors. For this purpose he was compelled to divorce his wife, Vipsania Agrippina, who had borne him a son, Drusus. Julia brought Tiberius nothing but shame, and for her immorality was banished by her father (2 B.C.). Tiberius was consul in 12 B.C., and received the proconsular authority, 9 B.C. He carried on successful wars in Pannonia, Dalmatia, Armenia and Germany. He retired in disgust to voluntary exile at Rhodes where he spent several years in study. In 2 A.D., he returned to Rome, and lived there in retirement, 2-4 A.D. On June 27, 4 A.D., Tiberius and Agrippa Postumus were adopted by Augustus. From this date on Tiberius came more and more into prominence, receiving the tribunician power for 10 years.<br><br>3. Reign:<br><br>In 13 A.D. (or according to Mommsen 11 A.D.) Tiberius was by a special law raised to the co-regency. Augustus died August 19, 14 A.D., and Tiberius succeeded. A mutiny in the Rhine legions was suppressed by Germanicus. The principal events of his reign (see also below) were the campaigns of Germanicus and Drusus, the withdrawal of the Romans to the Rhine, the settlement of the Armenian question, the rise and fall of Sejanus, the submission of Parthia. In 26 A.D., Tiberius retired to Capreae, where rumor attributed to him every excess of debauchery. On March 16, 37 A.D., Tiberius died at Misenum and was succeeded by Caius.<br><br>4. Administration:<br><br>On the whole, Tiberius followed the conservative policy of Augustus and maintained the "diarchy." But he approached nearer to monarchy by receiving supreme power for an indefinite period. He went beyond Augustus in practically excluding the people from government by transferring the right of election from the comitia of the people to the senate, leaving to the people the right merely to acclaim the nominees of the senate, and further by imposing laws upon the people without their counsel or discussion. He established a permanent praetorian camp at Rome-a fact of great importance in later Roman history. The administration of Tiberius was that of a wise, intelligent statesman with a strong sense of duty. The civil service was improved, and officers were kept longer at their posts to secure efficiency. Taxes were light on account of his economy. Public security increased. He paid attention to the administration of justice and humane laws were placed on the statute-book.<br><br>5. Character:<br><br>Though Tiberius was unpopular, he left the empire in a state of prosperity and peace. Of his character the most opposite views are held. His fame has suffered especially from his suspecting nature, which extended the law of majestas to offenses against his person and encouraged delation, which made the latter part of his reign one of terror. The tyranny of Sejanus, too, has been laid upon his shoulders, and he has been accused of the wildest excesses in his retreat at Capreae-a charge which seems to be refuted by the fact that no interruption to his wise administration took place. His character has been blackened most by Tacitus and Suetonius. But on nearer criticism Tiberius's character will appear in better light. No doubt, toward the close of his reign he degenerated, but his cruelties affected only the upper classes. He was called a tyrant and was refused deification after death, and Augustus was said to have prophesied "Alas for the Roman people who shall be ground under such slow jaws." Tiberius was stern and taciturn, critical with himself and, soured by his own disappointments, was suspicious of others. Pliny the Elder calls him "the gloomiest of men." Much of his unpopularity was due to his inscrutability, to the fact that people could not understand him or penetrate into the mystery of his motives. He rarely took counsel with anyone. His life was frugal and modest-a rebuke to the contemporary dissipation. He felt contempt for the inanities of court life and was supremely indifferent to public opinion, but actuated by a strong sense of duty.<br><br>6. Tiberius and the New Testament:<br><br>The reign of Tiberius is memorable as that in which fell our Lord's public ministry, death and resurrection. It also witnessed the preaching of John the Baptist (<a href="/luke/3-1.htm">Luke 3:1</a>), the conversion of Paul and perhaps his first preaching, the martyrdom of Stephen and the first Christian persecution (by the Jews). Tiberius is mentioned by name only once in the New Testament (<a href="/luke/3-1.htm">Luke 3:1</a>): "the 15th year of the reign (hegemonia) of Tiberius." The question is, From what date is this to be reckoned-the date of Tiberius's co-regency, 13 (or 11) A.D., or from his accession, 14 A.D.? He is the "Caesar" mentioned in the Gospels in connection with Jesus' public ministry (<a href="/mark/12-14.htm">Mark 12:14</a> and parallel's; <a href="/john/19-12.htm">John 19:12, 15</a>). Herod Antipas built Tiberias in honor of Tiberius (Josephus, Ant, XVIII, ii-iii). It is unlikely that Tiberius ever heard anything about Christianity; it had not risen as yet into prominence. Early Christian writers wished to represent Tiberius, if not friendly to the new faith, at least as condemning the action of Pilate. According to one apocryphal tradition, Tiberius actually summoned Pilate to Rome to answer for crucifying Jesus. It is true that Pilate was sent to Rome by the governor of Syria to answer to a charge of unjustifiable cruelty, but Tiberius died before Elate reached Rome.<br><br>7. Tiberius and the Jews:<br><br>Under Tiberius Palestine was governed by Roman procurators. Toward the Jews in Italy, Tiberius showed some intolerance. In 19 A.D. all the Jews were expelled from Rome according to Josephus (Ant., XVIII, iii, 5), from Italy according to Tacitus (Ann. ii.85), and 4,000 Jewish freedmen were deported to Sardinia to reduce bands of brigands. Philo attributes this severity to Sejanus, and says that after Sejanus' fall Tiberius, recognizing that the Jews had been persecuted without cause, gave orders that officials should not annoy them or disturb their rites. They were therefore probably allowed to return to Rome (see Schurer, III, 60 f, 4th edition).<br><br>LITERATURE.<br><br>(a) Ancient literature, as modern, is divided on its estimate of Tiberius; Tacitus Annals i-vi; Dio Cassius Rom. Hist. xivi-xivii, and Suetonius Tib. painting him in the darkest colors, while Velleius Paterculus II gives the other side.<br><br>(b) Of modern literature it is enough to cite on opposite sides: J. C. Tarver, Tiberius the Tyrant, 1902; Ihne, Zur Ehrenrettung des K. Tib., 1892, and the moderate estimate of Merivale, Romans under the Empire.<br><br>S.
