[uncleclaudius]

The statue of Drusus the Younger, the only natural son of emperor Tiberius and his first wife Vipsania. Drusus died in 23 AD of what at the time was thought to be an illness but years later his wife Livilla and her lover Seianus were accused of poisoning him.

The statue was found on the island Sant'Antioco near Sardinia and is now exhibited in The National Archaeological Museum in Cagliari.

Drusus Caesar (7-33 CE)

Another son of Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder.  Like his older  brother Drusus was adopted by Tiberius and seen as a possible future emperor. In 30 CE he was though accused of intriguing against the emperor and - like his mother and brother year before - exiled from Rome. If Tacitus is to believed Drusus starved to death three years later in a prison.
