(June 3, 20 BC – October 18, AD 31),
commonly known as Sejanus
(English pronunciation: /sɪˈdʒeɪnəs/),
.
*”Lucius Aelius Sejanus” was an ambitious soldier, friend and confidant of the Roman Emperor “Tiberius”*
.
(an equestrian by birth, “Sejanus” rose to power as prefect of the Roman imperial bodyguard, known as the “Praetorian Guard”, of which he was commander from AD 14 until his death in AD 31)
(while the “Praetorian Guard” was formally established under “Emperor Augustus”, ‘Sejanus’ introduced a number of reforms which saw the unit evolve beyond a mere bodyguard, into a powerful and influential branch of the government involved in public security, civil administration and ultimately political intercession; these changes would have a lasting impact on the course of the “Principate”)
(during the 20s, ‘Sejanus’ gradually accumulated power by consolidating his influence over ‘Tiberius’ and eliminating potential political opponents, including the emperor’s son “Drusus Julius Caesar”)
(when ‘Tiberius’ withdrew to ‘capri’ in AD 26, ‘Sejanus’ was left in control of the administration of the empire)
(for a time the most influential and feared citizen of Rome, ‘Sejanus’ suddenly fell from power in AD 31, the year his career culminated with the consulship)
(amidst suspicions of conspiracy against ‘Tiberius’, ‘Sejanus’ was arrested and executed, along with his followers)
