guy Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 (edited) 22 hours ago, Titus ghost said: So who of the brothers Tiberius and Drusus is older. Wikipedia and others say Tiberius; Mary Beard and others say Drusus My understanding is Drusus was younger as he was thought (incorrectly) to be the natural son of his future stepfather Augustus. Livia at the time she married Augustus was pregnant with Drusus. Can you supply an ancient source that suggests otherwise. Both Suetonius and Tacitus support the birth order of Tiberius being the oldest. And welcome to UNRV. (This probably should have been posted in another subforum, however, such as “Imperium Romanorum.”) Edited August 29 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
