What happened to Sejanus’s supporters after his execution?

Following the execution of Sejanus in 31 ce, a long and brutal reign of terror was unleashed against his supporters.

During this period, the emperor Tiberius utilized delatores—volunteer prosecutors who profited from accusing others—to identify and target those associated with the fallen administrator. These inquisitions implicated many prominent Roman figures, often based on rumors or falsified evidence. The purge was characterized by widespread torture and execution, as Tiberius sought to eliminate any remaining influence of Sejanus and investigate the alleged murder of his son, Drusus, by Sejanus and Livilla. No one within the emperor's circle was considered safe during this time of intense suspicion and state-sanctioned violence.12
