== History ==
Drusus Julius Caesar was born in Rome, Latium, Roman Republic, the son of Tiberius and<br>
Vipsania Agrippina; he was named for his paternal uncle Nero Claudius Drusus. In 4 AD,<br> 
when Tiberius was adopted as Emperor Augustus' heir, Drusus was married to his cousin<br> 
Livilla, who had infidelities with another cousin, Agrippa Postumus. Drusus and his<br> 
adoptive brother Germanicus progressed through Roman society together; they became<br> 
quaestor at the same age (Drusus in 10 AD), both were exempted from holding the<br> 
praetorship, they held their first and second consulships at the same age, and both<br> 
were given imperium when they were given lands to govern. In September of 14 AD, after<br> 
the death of Emperor Augustus, Drusus was sent to quell the mutiny of the legions in<br> 
Illyricum, and he also quelled the revolt of three legions in Pannonia after executing<br> 
the mutiny's leaders. He held the consulship in 15 AD, and, from 17 to 20 AD, he served<br> 
as Governor of Illyricum. During the summer of 18 AD, he led a successful invasion of the<br> 
Marcomanni lands in Bohemia, and he received an ovation for his success on his return to<br> 
Rome. After his brother Germanicus' death in 19 AD, Drusus became the new heir to the<br> 
Roman Empire, and he fathered Tiberius Gemellus on the same day as his brother's death,<br> 
10 October. Drusus returned to the consulship in 21 AD, and, the next year, he was formally<br> 
made his father's heir. However, the Prefect of the Praetorian Guard, Sejanus, came to be<br> 
the de facto heir to the empire after seducing Drusus' wife Livilla and winning the favor<br> 
of Tiberius. Drusus felt jealous about Sejanus assisting in government while the Emperor's<br> 
heir was alive, and he struck him in the face. Sejanus soon divorced his wife and planned<br> 
to marry Livilla, who had her husband poisoned in 23 AD; Drusus died at the age of 36.<br>
