Tiberius Julius Alexander was the son of a rich Alexandrian Jew, also called Tiberius Julius Alexander. The father was a customs officer, and gave financial advice to Antonia, mother of the emperor Claudius. As his uncle was the philosopher Philo, his younger son Marcus, husband of Berenice, daughter of the Jewish king Herod Agrippa, he belonged to a very influential family. After a remarkable career in imperial service Tiberius Alexander became prefect of Egypt and finally, during Vespasians reign, as praetorian prefect, the highest office an equestrian could reach, a member of the inner circle of Roman government.
