- Pax Romana
- Because of his reluctance to become emperor in the first place, Tiberius followed Augustus' rule by keeping the Pax Romana.
- This meant that he did not extend the empire any more than it needed to, and he didn't go to any unecessary wars.
- Kept natural borders - The Rhine had savage tribes on the other side of it too
- This meant that he did not have to extend or use many troops to guard the borders.
