The affair with Sejanus and the final …

Years: 32 - 32

The affair with Sejanus and the final years of treason trials have permanently damaged Tiberius' image and reputation.

After Sejanus's fall, Tiberius' withdrawal from Rome is complete; the empire continues to run under the inertia of the bureaucracy established by Augustus, rather than through the leadership of the Princeps.

Suetonius records that he became paranoid, and spent a great deal of time brooding over the death of his son.

A shortage of grain in 32 leads to public protests in Rome.

Meanwhile, during this period a short invasion by Parthia, incursions by tribes from Dacia and from across the Rhine by several Germanic tribes occur.
