Die ältere Form liegt bei Plinius H. N. VII, 46 angedeutet, bei Plutarch de garrulitate 11 mit einigen Ausschmückungen und Versehen bereichert vor. Sie besagt, daß Fabius, ein Freund des Kaisers, den greisen Augustus über seine Vereinsamung klagen hörte ; zwei Enkel seien ihm gestorben, Agrippa Postumus infolge einer Verleumdung verbannt, und er selbst sei gezwungen, wider Willen Tiberius zum Nachfolger zu bestimmen, obwohl er Mitleid mit Agrippa habe und ihn zurückrufen möchte. Das habe Fabius seiner Gattin erzählt, diese der Livia, die daraufhin dem Kaiser bittere Vorwürfe gemacht habe.
3) Suet. Tib. 13. 4) Tacit, ann. 4, 40. Zonaras 10,36. TIBERIUS AUF RHODUS. GAIUS UND LUCIUS 25 einen Dolchstoß, an dessen Folgen er langsam dahinsiechte, bis er im Jahre 4 n. Chr. in Kleinasien starb. Natürlich haben Livias Feinde in alter und neuer Zeit1) ihr die Schuld am Tode beider Prinzen gegeben, aber sie beachten dabei nicht, daß Livia durch die Ermordung des Lucius zunächst nur den Gaius zum künftigen Alleinherrscher gemacht hätte, und daß sie durch Gams' Vergiftung ihre eigene Enkelin um die Ehre, Kaiserin zu werden, gebracht haben würde.
I, 33. 1) Tacitus will hier, wo bei ihm zum erstenmal von dem Verhältnis der Livia zum Hause des Germanicus die R e d e ist, den Leser gleich mißtrauisch machen, damit er nachher gläubig die Verdächtigungen bei der Schilderung des Prozesses des Piso hinnehmen soll. Wie gewöhnlich, wenn er gar nichts Tatsächliches anzuführen weiß, liest Tacitus den Argwohn aus der Seele eines anderen heraus oder in sie hinein. 2) Eine Trübung erfuhr das Verhältnis zwischen Tiberius und Livia einerseits, Germanicus und Agrippina andrerseits erst durch die Vorgänge im Orient, zumal durch das Auftreten des Piso und seiner mit Livia eng befreundeten Gattin Plancina.
