 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 .

 Tiberius shared in Augustus ' tribune powers as of 6 BC , but shortly thereafter went into retirement , reportedly wanting no further role in politics while he exiled himself to Rhodes . No specific reason is known for his departure , though it could have been a combination of reasons , including a failing marriage with Julia , as well as a sense of envy and exclusion over Augustus ' apparent favouring of his young grandchildren @-@ turned @-@ sons Gaius and Lucius . ( Gaius and Lucius joined the college of priests at an early age , were presented to spectators in a more favorable light , and were introduced to the army in Gaul . )

 Tiberius was married two times , with only his first union producing a child who would survive to adulthood :

 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 .

 In response , a series of potential heirs seem to have been selected , among them Tiberius and his brother Drusus . In 24 BC at the age of seventeen Tiberius entered politics under Augustus ' direction , receiving the position of quaestor , and was granted the right to stand for election as praetor and consul five years in advance of the age required by law . Similar provisions were made for Drusus .
