'''Lucius Aelius Sejanus''' (20 BC-AD 31) was a [[Roman]] army officer who rose to become commander of the [[Praeorian Guard]] under the Emperor [[Tiberius]], and virtual ruler of the [[Roman Empire]] after Tiberius retired to [[Capri]]. When Tiberius discovered his plotting he had Sejanus and his supporters brutally murdered.
Sejanus was notably portrayed by [[Patrick Stewart]] (of later [[Star Trek]] fame) in the [[BBC]]'s 1976 adaptation of the novel ''I, Claudius'' by [[Robert Graves]].
