Poisoned tiberius, as some believe, and pulled the signet ring from his finger: when tiberius resisted, nero smothered and strangled him, succeeded tiberius as his adoptive heir, along with tiberius gemellus. He tried to bring statues of the gods from greece, revered statues of artistic excellence, among them jupiter from olympia, and wanted to remove their heads and replace them with his own. Set up a temple for the worship of his own divine essence: had a golden statue that looked like him.
