티베리우스 황제 집권 초기 왕조 지배 이념 강조의 정치적 배경

초록

Tiberius ascended the throne after suffering political dissension which had taken place in imperial family during later period of Augustus’ reign. The Political opposition lasted during Tiberius’ reign. In addition, the unstability of emperor’ constitutional position made the political situation worse. Therefore Tiberius treated the Senate with modesty, which was the supreme institution in the political tradition of Roman republic. He tried to stabilize his political position in two ways. First, he emphasized the fact that he was the proper heir of Augustus, by which he intended to make up for his weak point that he was not a member of Julius gens. Second, he emphasized the principle that the Roman empire should be reigned by a dynasty and tried to display the union of royal family in public. The early period of emperor Tiberius’ reign was a period of transition when on the one hand political conflicts among the major members of royal family went on and on the other they advertised the union of the major members of royal family in order to establish the ideology of ruling by a dynasty.
