The Death of Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus

In the summer of 14 AD, Augustus ordered Tiberius to take over the critical command in Alaricum. This meant that Augustus was putting Tiberius in charge of a large chunk of the Roman army while simultaneously keeping him close to Italy. Posthumus continued to sit on a lifeless rock and was left out of Augustus so recently revised will. That probably tells us all we need to know about whether Augustus was planning to replace Tiberius as his heir.
