Drusus: A Legacy of Power and Tragedy In the annals of ancient Rome, few names evoke as much intrigue and fascination as Drusus. Born into the illustrious Julio-Claudian dynasty, he was a figure who left an indelible mark on history through his triumphs, political prowess, and ultimately tragic demise. One cannot discuss Drusus without acknowledging his familial connections. As the son of Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia Drusilla, he was not only the brother of Emperor Tiberius but also held close ties to Augustan lineage. This bloodline would shape his destiny and propel him onto the grand stage of Roman politics. The statuesque figure captured in Claudius I's statue embodies Drusus' commanding presence. With chiseled features and a regal countenance, it is no wonder that he commanded respect from both allies and adversaries alike. Plate 27 reveals another facet of Drusus' legacy - a triumphal arch adorned with allegorical figures symbolizing victory. This elevation showcases his military achievements along the Elbe River, where he expanded Roman territory to unprecedented heights. Engravings depicting these conquests immortalize his strategic brilliance on paper for generations to come. However, amidst all this glory lay tragedy. The engraving "Drusus is Stabbed" depicts a fateful moment when treachery cut short his promising life. Yet even in death's embrace, Drusis managed to maintain gracefulness as shown in another engraving capturing his final moments. Today, near Mainz in Germany lies ruins that once housed the maosoleum dedicated to this fallen hero - a testament to how deeply revered he was by those who knew him best. Beyond military exploits or untimely deaths lie glimpses into everyday life during Druses' time period.
