Germanicus number 1 was Drusus. Germanicus number 2 was his eldest son, also a successful general, who died under mysterious circumstances in the reign of Tiberius (AD19). His eldest son, Germanicus number 3, was better known by his nickname - Caligula (Little Boot), given him as a child by his father's soldiers.
