Drusus Mix-up
Hi. I think the writer of this article might have mixed up his Drususes. The person in the heavens referred to as "Drusus II" is not the linked Drusus Julius Caesar, who was Tiberius's natural son and still alive in 32 B.C.E., but rather Tiberius' deceased younger natural brother and Livia Augusta's natural son, Nero Claudius Drusus, who had died in 9 B.C.E. The Drusus standing near the reigning Tiberius at center stage is indeed Tiberius's designated heir, also named Nero Claudius Drusus at birth and thus the "real" "Drusus II" (though if now heir he should be known as "Drusus Julius Caesar" as his link indicates.)

Here is the original quote: "In the upper level are its dead members - Augustus, surrounded by Drusus II and Germanicus flying on Pegasus. In the middle level are the living ones - the emperor Tiberius in the centre, accompanied by his mother Livia and by Nero Drusus (Tiberius's designated heir) standing by him on one side..."

Neros
Child on Agrippina's knees can be Nero, but not future emperor, just Nero, son of Germanicus and brother of Caligula. Some scholars (Barrett) thinks that child can be youngest son of Germanicus - Caligula himself. 149.156.101.1 (talk) 10:03, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Date
This article has two dates for the cameo, 23 A.D./C.E. and the reign of Claudius. They are mutually exclusive.DeAragon 21:04, 11 October 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dearagon (talk • contribs)
