Tiberius Claudius Drusus, born in 10 BC, was Caligula's uncle and was acclaimed emperor by the Praetorians after his nephew was assassinated in 41 AD. Despite being considered a halfwit, he was an able emperor, ruling until 54 AD, when he is believed to have been poisoned by his wife and neice, Agrippina Junior.
