Tiberius lived until March 37 C.E. and hence was emperor for the entire period of Jesus’ ministry. It was therefore Tiberius’ image that was on the tax coin brought to Jesus when he said, “Pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar.” (Mr 12:14-17; Mt 22:17-21; Lu 20:22-25)

There is some uncertainty, records that were kept then did not survive over the nearly two millennia, at least that we have seen.
Augustus (Octavian) died around AD 14. His stepson Tiberias Julius Caesar Augustus (the more full name sometimes brings confusion), or Tiberias, reigned from there until his death in AD 37, as our calendar recons. Tiberias was thought by some to have appointed Pontius Pilot, as some stories tell, Pilot rescued the emperor from a building after an earthquake. If that is true, then this is the Roman emperor when Jesus was executed.
The next emperor was Gaius, also known as Caligua, who was followed by Nero. Christians were already known during both of those reigns (especially Nero), so it pretty much had to happen before these two. Check out Tacitus' Annals for the stories of these early emperors, as well as one of the first surviving references to the followers of "Christus".

because Christianity is largely a lack of existence cult--the lack of existence of Jesus is the starting up of the completed faith. He had to die for the salvation of humanity. And in accordance to many christian beleivers (Catholics, fairly) the position the position Jesus died is holy land, and the position his blood soaked the earth is sacred. The land the position he died is sanctified land, and to construct a church there is to ask human beings to come back into the presense of the Divine, reminding those who visit that the following blood became shed, a existence sacrificed, and an finished race redeemed. besides, leaving Calvary Hill empty does not be evidence sufficent that Jesus Christ lived, died, and rose back, now to not atheist skeptics like me. An empty plot of land can't teach mythological activities 2000 years old. it really is in basic terms empty land. in my opinion, even although i'm an unbeleiver, it makes more effective experience to me that a church sits on holy land particularly than or not that is empty. human beings want to experience on the brink of the genuine issues in existence. And If the theory that someone died in this spot a lengthy time period in the past is important, then a monument must be erected to commemorate that adventure. A church is a monument to Jesus's lack of existence. It serves an same symbolic function because the Vietnam memorial does the deaths of Vietnam vets, or the Lincoln Monument the existence and absence of existence of Abraham Lincoln.

Because Tiberius was a paranoid menace to all, and because he collected the ashes of anyone he remotely imagined to be departing from his twisted view of things, Pontius Pilot was not about to allow some agitator followed around by crowds of people who proclaimed him the King of the Jews. Tiberius was king of all, and better get rid of this eccentric Hebrew wise man who was obviously trying to stir up a complete revision of the moral mentality of his people.

Tiberius was the Roman Emperor from 14AD-37AD. Augustus was the Emperor when Jesus was born (31BC-14AD). Since Julius Caesar was prior to Augustus, he could not have been the emporer. Also, Pontius Pilate was a governor over the area of Judah, not the Roman Emperor. Same thing with Herrod.

Emperor Tiberus was the emperor during the death of Jesus. Agustas was the Emperor during the time that he was born.
