1. Battle of the Var (9 AD):
As the stepson and heir of Emperor Augustus, Tiberius led the Roman army against a coalition of Germanic tribes led by Arminius. The Battle of the Var was considered a significant Roman defeat and loss of three Roman legions.
2. Pannonian Revolt (9-10 AD):
Tiberius campaigned against several rebellious Illyrian tribes in Pannonia (present-day Hungary and parts of neighboring countries). He successfully put down the revolt and secured Roman control in the region.
3. German Campaigns (14-16 AD):
Tiberius conducted military operations along the Rhine River to counter Germanic incursions into Roman territories. He aimed to fortify the Roman border (limes) and assert Roman dominance over the region.
4. Campaign in Germania (41 AD):
After becoming emperor, Tiberius engaged in military campaigns in Germania once more. He sought to expand the empire's control and secure the frontier.
5. Jewish Revolt (66-73 AD):
Tiberius, by this point deceased, was succeeded by his adopted son, Emperor Claudius, who faced the First Jewish-Roman War. Although Tiberius himself was not directly involved, it is noteworthy that the reign of his successor dealt with this significant rebellion.
6. Various Suppressions:
Throughout his reign, Tiberius faced multiple revolts and challenges in various parts of the Roman Empire, such as in Spain, Thrace, and Africa. He took measures to maintain order and suppress disturbances as needed.
During Tiberius's rule, he focused primarily on diplomacy, economic stability, and internal administration rather than large-scale military campaigns. Despite his cautious and pragmatic approach, he did partake in some significant battles and military actions during his early career and in support of the empire's territorial integrity.
