Drusus was a prominent member of the imperial family in ancient Rome. He was born in 38 BC as the son of Livia Drusilla and stepson of emperor Augustus. He was also the brother of future emperor Tiberius.
Drusus served in the military alongside his father, General Mark Antony, and his stepfather, Augustus. He was known for his bravery, strategic prowess, and loyalty to his family and Rome.
In 13 BC, Drusus was appointed governor of the province of Illyricum, where he successfully expanded Roman territory by subduing rebellious tribes and conquering new territories. He also established the city of Augusta Praetoria in modern-day Aosta, Italy, as a strategic outpost in the Alps.
Unfortunately, Drusus died in 9 BC at the age of 29, during a military campaign in Germany. His death was a devastating blow to the imperial family and Rome, as he was considered a rising star with great potential.
Despite his short life, Drusus left a lasting legacy. He was honored with a public funeral and a lavish monument, the Drususstein, was erected in his memory. He was also the namesake of a branch of the imperial family, the Claudii Drusi, which continued to play an important role in Roman politics for centuries.
