He was probably born in 705, the day before or shortly after Justinian seized the imperial throne for the second time (going to Constantinople, he sent his wife to her father in Khazaria). After the accession of Justinian, together with his mother he was taken to Constantinople in 706 and proclaimed co-ruler. He was awarded the title of August .
The only historical information that has been preserved about Tiberius is his participation in the reception of Pope Constantine (711).
In December of that year, after the overthrow of his father, Tiberius was killed by the patricians.
