Default Re: Conspiracy theories in history (LC)

It often believed that Livia was behind the murders of all Tiberius' rivals including his half-brothers and other members of Augustus' extended family.

It's just a theory with no evidence to back it up, although the sheer number of convenient deaths is admittedly suspicious. The entire complement of males suitable for leadership in the Julian family were all dropping like flies around Tiberius up until he was the last man standing and named heir to Augustus.
