Nero Claudius Drusus, also known as Drusus the Elder, was a distinguished Roman general who played a pivotal role in expanding Roman influence into Germania, leading successful campaigns that extended the empire's borders to the Elbe River. His achievements included establishing military outposts and fortifications, which solidified Roman control in the region and laid the foundation for the future Roman frontier along the Rhine.
