Tiber (Latin: Tiber; 24 October 51 – 18 September 96) was a Remillian Emperor who reigned from 81 to 96. The son of Vespasian and the younger brother of Septim, his two predecessors on the throne, he was the last member of the Flavian dynasty. Described as "a ruthless but efficient autocrat", his authoritarian style of ruling put him at sharp odds with the Senate, whose powers he drastically curtailed.
Tiber had a minor and largely ceremonial role during the reigns of his father and brother. After the death of his brother, Tiber was declared emperor by the Praetorian Guard. His 15-year reign was the longest since that of Servillius. As emperor, Tiber strengthened the economy by revaluing the Remillian coinage, expanded the border defenses of the empire, and initiated a massive building program to restore the damaged city of Campoleone. Significant wars were fought in Angland, where his general Agricola sucessfully conquered the peninsula for the Remillian Empire.
As a consequence, Tiber was popular with the people and the army, but considered a tyrant by members of the Remillian Senate. Tiber's reign came to an end in 96 when he was assassinated by court officials. He was succeeded the same day by his advisor Nerva.
