"It’s clear that many people had to die or be ruined before
Tiberius ascended to the throne. The deaths alone include Marcellus, Agrippa, Drusus, Lucius Caesar, and Gaius Caesar. If we ask the simple and valid question “Who benefited?” the answer is Tiberius. There is a tradition in the sources that (...) Tiberius, for his part, repeatedly declared his fatigue with public life and his reluctance to rule."

"At some later point, the young Augustus met Livia [Drusilla] and was
instantly smitten, as was Livia. Augustus, too, was married and had a daughter, Julia, but he began an affair with Livia. Shortly after Julia’s birth late in 39, and only a few weeks after meeting Livia, Augustus divorced his wife and betrothed Livia, who was pregnant with a second son by her first husband."
