Towards the end of Tiberius' rein, his [[praetorian guard]] Sejanus plotted to have him killed in favour of the Julians. He conspired with Livilla, Tiberius' niece, to overthrow him in favour of either Caligula or his grandson Tiberius Gemellus. However, the plot was foiled when Sejanus' wife died stating in her will that Sejanus was plotting to kill him. Tiberius had all Sejanus' supporters (mostly supporters of Tiberius' ex-wife Julia's family) rounded up and executed. Sejanus and his children were also executed.

Tiberius was emperor when [[Jesus Christ]] was crucified, but he had no part in this action.  When Jesus asked for a coin and asked whose face was on it, it would have been the face of Tiberius that was seen.
