Years: 37 - 37
Tiberius is dead within a year, and Agrippa's fortunes are reversed.
Caligula, becoming emperor in CE 37, will need to quell several riots and conspiracies in the eastern territories during his reign.
The cause of tensions in the east is complicated, involving the spread of Greek culture, Roman law and the rights of Jews.
Aiding Caligula in his actions is his good friend Agrippa, who, sprung from prison following Tiberius death, becomes governor of the territories of Batanaea and Trachonitis: the former realm of his uncle Philip the Tetrarch and of an adjoining region.
