I think there was some miscalculation done as to how old Tiberius was when he died.
Born 42 BC
Died 37 AD
Reigned - 14 AD to 37 AD
Year 42 BC - 1 BC
Age 1 - 42
Year 1 AD - 14 AD
Age 43 - 57
37 - 14 = 23
57 + 23 = 80
Year 37 AD
Age 80
According to the Math I did Tiberius should have been 57 when he became Emperor of Rome and died at age 80, but according to Wikipedia it say's the following:
"Born 16 November 42 BC
Died 16 March AD 37 (aged 77)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_Julius_Caesar_Augustus
What I noticed that I had to pay attention to was that there was a 1 BC and a 1 AD which were different years, because I almost thought that Tiberius becomes Emperor at age 56 until I noticed I had to pay attention to the fact that there is a 1 BC and a 1 AD.
I need to keep studying this further and make sure I'm doing the Math right though...
