- Caligula was the next emperor after Tiberius his reign was very good at first but then he began to fight with the senate and claimed to be a god (He was Insane), He eventually was assassinated by his own aids in 41 A.D.
- Claudius was next in line and he was ostracized and made fun of by his own family and workers for all his disabilities, he conquered Britain and built roads and aqueducts and renovated the Circus Maximus
- There were many disputes between the Christians and Jews vs. The Romans because the Romans believed in many gods while the Jews and Christians believed in only one god
