Institutes of Roman Law
Roman emperor under whom the Lex Junia Norbana was passed.
Amongst the earlier of these patented jurisconsults was Masurius Sabinus, of the time of the Emperor Tiberius.
Leges and Plebiscita—specimens of which are to be found in the Leges Juliae of Augustus, the Lex Aelia Sentia belonging to the reign of the same monarch, the Lex Junia Norbana of the reign of Tiberius, the Leges Claudiae of the Emperor Claudius — continued to be passed during the early Principate.
Legislation by the Comitia, though spoken of by Gaius in the present tense, had ceased to be a reality after the time of Tiberius, and the last recorded lex was passed in the reign of Nerva.
Adversus Marcionem
Roman emperor cited as a temporal benchmark for how long God has been known.
because He has been known from the beginning, because He never lay hid, because He always shone forth — even before Romulus himself, much more before Tiberius.
"Because of you my name is blasphemed among the nations" (for from them began the infamy) — and in the intervening time, from Tiberius to Vespasian, they had not understood repentance, their land was made desolate, their cities burned up, their region devoured before their own eyes by strangers, the daughter of Sion forsaken and like a watchtower in a vineyard or a hut in a cucumber-field — from t …
In the fifteenth year of the principate of Tiberius he sets forth that he came down into the city of Galilee, Capernaum — surely out of the Creator's heaven, into which he had before come down out of his own.
Letters to Lucilius
Roman emperor who made a pointed remark to Acilius Buta and was a friend of the poet Julius Montanus.
Julius Montanus was reciting a poem, a tolerable poet and known both for the friendship of Tiberius and for his coldness.
We remember that many lived this life at the same time, among them Acilius Buta, a man of praetorian rank, to whom, after a huge patrimony had been consumed, when he confessed his poverty, Tiberius said:
To him nevertheless Tiberius wrote many things in his own hand, which he judged should not be entrusted even to his own servants.
Apologeticum
Emperor during whose reign the Christian name entered Rome and who proposed Christ's divinity to the senate.
The origin of this discipline, as we have already declared, is from Tiberius.
Tiberius, then, in whose time the Christian name entered the world, when tidings were brought to him from Syria Palestine of the things which there had revealed the truth of this divinity, laid the matter before the senate with the prerogative of his own vote in its favour.
Infants were sacrificed to Saturn in Africa, openly, down to the proconsulship of Tiberius, who exposed the very priests upon the trees of his temple — those trees that overshadowed their crimes — on votive crosses, the soldiery of our own country being witness, which performed that very office for that proconsul.
Letters
Roman emperor mentioned for chronology.
The tribe of Judah, however, did not fail, until he came for whom it was reserved—who himself did not sit upon the bodily throne either, the Jewish kingdom having passed thereafter to Herod, the son of the Ascalonite Antipater, and to his children, who divided Judaea into four governments, while Pilate was governor and Tiberius held the whole power of the Roman empire.
Meditations
Roman emperor recalled at Capri, cited as an example of transience.
Fabius Catullinus in his country house, Lusius Lupus in his gardens, Stertinius at Baiae, Tiberius at Capri, and Velius Rufus, and, in a word, every difference made about anything with conceit;
Consolation to Marcia
Son of Livia, later emperor, who himself endured the loss of both a natural and an adopted son with outward composure.
Tiberius
Caesar lost both the son he had begotten and the one he had adopted;
more than her son Tiberius, whose devotion brought it about that, at that funeral so bitter and bewept by the nations, she felt she lacked nothing but the number.
Consolation to Polybius
Roman emperor, uncle of Seneca's speaker figure in the exemplum, who lost his brother Drusus and modeled restrained mourning.
Tiberius Caesar, my uncle, lost Drusus Germanicus, my father, a brother younger than himself, while he was laying open the heart of Germany and bringing the fiercest nations under the Roman empire—lost him in his very embrace, and amid his kisses.
Ad Nationes
Roman emperor under whom, per the passage, Christian discipline became visible.
under Tiberius its discipline shone out;
Adversus Judaeos
Roman emperor marking the start of the reckoned period of Israel's guilt.
and the middle time was from Tiberius to Vespasian.
