Document Summary
All of the emperors that follow are either related to. The influence of augustus was far greater than his roles of governor or tribune would have held. The main heir and stepson of augustus: married augustus daughter. His stepsister: there was speculation at the time that tiberius was chosen because he was not charismatic. Augustus wanted to make himself look more prestigious. He was awkward, introverted, and did not like public shows so he capped the budget for them. Tiberius did not know if he should hold all those positions but the decisions had already been made for him. One senator asked him how much power he wanted since it was all his for the taking. Augustus in his willed said that tiberius could not name his own son drusus as his heir but had to name his nephew germanicus his heir. Lecture: the people were waiting for tiberius to die so germanicus could rule.
