'''Germanicus''' (15 B.C. to 19 A.D) was a famous Roman of the Imperial family in the early Roman Empire. The son of [[Drusus]] and [[Antonia]] he had the bloodline of both Augustus and the Claudian line through Augustus' wife [[Livia]]. Immensely popular among the people of Rome, who followed each of his trimphs in pacifying the Germanic tribes after the disasterous [[Battle of the Teutoburg Forest]] in 9 A.D and re-establishing Roman control to the Rhine River. His great uncle Augustus had [[Tiberius]] adopt him as his son and heir to the Emperorship. According to [[Tacitus]], Germanicus was a Republican at heart.

Upon the death of Augustus, the legions of the Rhine proclaimed Germanicus as Emperor over the unpopular Tiberius, but he wouldn't hear of it instead commanding that they swear loyalty to Tiberius. Sent to the East to look after the Roman provinces there, and also be out of the way, he was poisoned and died within a few short years. Public outcry caused the Syrian governor [[Piso]] to be called for trial, but Piso committed suicide first. Piso's family was allowed to keep all of its wealth. It is commonly believed that Tiberius had Germanicus killed and Piso, who he had appointed to Syria only 2 years earlier, was his agent.

Germanicus had famous relatives as well. His son was the Emperor [[Caligula]], a period of darkness for the Empire while his younger brother [[Claudius]], was the Emperor after Caligula and the Emperor [[Nero]] was his grandson.
