Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus, 38 BC-9 BC, called Drusus Senior; he was the stepson of Augustus. He fought (15 BC) against the Rhaetians and gained much credit for his generalship. In 13 BC-12 BC he was in Gaul pacifying the tribes, and on his return to Rome he was made (11 BC) urban praetor. Returning to the provinces, he ravaged Germany E and N of the Rhine. He fortified the Rhine but put the Germans under no permanent subjection. He died in Germany.
