 At birth , he was named Gaius Octavius after his biological father . Historians typically refer to him simply as Octavius ( or Octavian ) between his birth in 63 until his adoption by Julius Caesar in 44 BC ( after Julius Caesar 's death ) .

 Whatever Tiberius 's motives , the withdrawal was almost disastrous for Augustus 's succession plans . Gaius and Lucius were still in their early teens , and Augustus , now 57 years old , had no immediate successor . There was no longer a guarantee of a peaceful transfer of power after Augustus 's death , nor a guarantee that his family , and therefore his family 's allies , would continue to hold power should the position of princeps survive .

 Little is recorded of Tiberius 's early life . In 32 BC Tiberius made his first public appearance at the age of nine , delivering the eulogy for his biological father . In 29 BC , both he and his brother Drusus rode in the triumphal chariot along with their adoptive father Octavian in celebration of the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra at Actium .

 The historical record contains few details of Romulus 's life . He was proclaimed as emperor by his father Orestes , the magister militum ( master of soldiers ) of the Roman army after forcing Emperor Julius Nepos to leave Italy . Romulus , little more than a child , acted as a figurehead for his father 's rule and reigned for only ten months . His legitimacy and authority were disputed beyond Italy and Romulus was soon deposed by Odoacer , who had defeated and executed Orestes . Odoacer sent Romulus to live in the Castellum Lucullanum in Campania , after which he disappears from the historical record .

 Since the accession of Tiberius , Drusus had been systematically groomed as the successor of his father , successfully commanding legions in Illyricum in 18 , and sharing the consulship with Tiberius in 21 . In practice it was still Sejanus who was the second man in the empire and he was ambitious to further expand his power . As early as 20 , Sejanus had sought to solidify his connection with the imperial family , by betrothing his daughter Junilla to the son of Claudius , Claudius Drusus . At the time the girl was only 4 years old but the marriage was prevented , when the boy accidentally died a few days later of asphyxiation .
