Tiberius 25

• employer: Agrippa (Master-servant relationship.) “For a slave of Agrippa’s, Clemens by name, had drawn together a considerable force to revenge his master’s death;”
• enemies with Tiberius (Clemens raised a force amid the rebellions and was subsequently captured by Tiberius.) “For a slave of Agrippa’s, Clemens by name, had drawn together a considerable force to revenge his master’s death; Lucius Scribonius Libo, a senator of the first distinction, was secretly fomenting a rebellion; and the troops both in Illyricum and Germany were mutinous. Both armies insisted upon high demands, particularly that their pay should be made equal to that of the pretorian guards. The army in Germany absolutely refused to acknowledge a prince who was not their own choice; and urged, with all possible importunity, Germanicus, who commanded them, to take the government on himself, though he obstinately refused it. It was Tiberius’s apprehension from this quarter, which made him request the senate to assign him some part only in the administration, such as they should judge proper, since no man could be sufficient for the whole, without one or more to assist him. He pretended likewise to be in a bad state of health, that Germanicus might the more patiently wait in hopes of speedily succeeding him, or at least of being admitted to be a colleague in the government. When the mutinies in the armies were suppressed, he got Clemens into his hands by stratagem.”
• patron: Agrippa “For a slave of Agrippa’s, Clemens by name, had drawn together a considerable force to revenge his master’s death;”
