Description: (Political figure)
Drusus Julius Caesar, son of Emperor Tiberius, began his political career as a quaestor in AD 10, following the footsteps of his adoptive brother Germanicus. Drusus and Germanicus both held various offices at the same age and were expected to rule together, inspired by the example set by Augustus. They were well-liked figures and received numerous honors in their names. Drusus's unexpected death in 23 raised suspicions of foul play involving the Praetorian prefect Sejanus. Despite rumors, Tiberius did not suspect Sejanus until his eventual downfall in 31.
