Talk:Tiberius/@comment-5525892-20121022020441

Tiberius was a competent politician and military commander. Hell, he had helped Augustus make a lot of his conquests and had done a lot of Augustus' dirty work in his younger years. He just got paranoid during his later years and started seeing enemies everywhere. As bad as he was, Caligula was worse, and Tiberius knew that and tried to stop it by attempting to have Caligula and Gemellus (Tiberius' grandson) rule together as a way of keeping Caligula at bay.
