The people were so much elated at his death, that when they first heard the news, they ran up and down the city, some crying out, “Away with Tiberius to the Tiber;” others exclaiming, “May the earth, the common mother of mankind, and the infernal gods, allow him no abode in death, but amongst the wicked.”
Not a popular man at all. Tiberius was detested, hence is successor - the young, dashing, 'charismatic' (let's not deny it), Gauis Caesar (Caligula) was welcomed to the big chair with open arms. Little did they know ;-)
