Germanicus Caesar (15 BC-AD 19), Roman general, son of the general Nero Claudius Drusus, and nephew and adopted son of Emperor Tiberius. In AD 12 he was consul, and the following year Emperor Augustus appointed him to command the eight Roman legions on the Rhine River. In AD 14, on the death of Augustus, the legions mutinied, but Germanicus quelled the insurrection, after which he led the soldiers into battle. Emperor Tiberius recalled Germanicus to Rome in AD 17. The young general was received with great enthusiasm and honored with a triumph, the traditional celebration for victorious generals. Tiberius then dispatched him to settle a dispute that had arisen in the eastern provinces of Armenia and Parthia. On this mission, Germanicus became fatally ill.
