TIBERIUS: From Masterly Commander to Masterful Emperor of Rome

1-249690

Offers a fresh reassessment of Tiberius Caesar, highlighting his leadership, reforms, and misunderstood legacy as emperor. His reputation for capable generalship and sensible civic leadership are marred by reports of cruelty, treason trials, and sexual depravity. Examines the known facts of the personal and professional life of Ancient Rome's third longest serving emperor. He was a poet, a collector of art, and an astrologer. Explores how he dealt with success, disappointment, and loss all while under the unrelenting pressure of serving Augustus, and then carrying out his ultimate duty by ruling the empire in his own right. Contains 35 illustrations.
