Summary

If you want to discover the captivating life of Tiberius, then pay attention....

Compared with the preceding rulers, Julius Caesar and Augustus, the name does not ring out with the same fame and pomposity. Shakespeare wrote no plays about Tiberius; his name does not echo in the history books with the same awe-inspiring prominence. Even his successors, Caligula and Nero, are more famous than he was. In fact, Tiberius can hardly be called famous at all. History knows him more for his infamy.

Tiberius is remembered, if he is remembered at all, for his bad behavior. He spent much of his rule on a Greek island surrounded by every pleasure that his diseased flesh could dream of, abandoning his empire to scandal and intrigue. He is a great villain of Roman history.

In Tiberius: A Captivating Guide to the Life of Ancient Rome's Second Emperor and How He Ruled the Roman Empire, you will discover topics such as:

  • Before the Emperors
  • Born into Turmoil
  • The Eye of the Emperor
  • In the Shadow of Augustus
  • First Conquest
  • Forced Marriage
  • Rock Bottom
  • Ascension
  • A Slippery Slope to Capri
  • The Last Javelin
  • And Much, Much More!

A man of many faces.

It is difficult to find a more tragic ruler, and a more diverse in action and mood. Incredibly capable when he wanted to, vicious and cruel, yet such a dedicated and effective man when he put he heart to it. Both as soldier, bureaucrat, and ruler.
I like how the book gives an atleast somewhat sympathetic view on him. A tragic story, and during his life his heart is broken 3 times, from loss. A very underrated historical figure.

Disappointed with this account and the delivery

This story of an Emperors life is read as though reading from the bullets of his life. Pace is too quick, content not deep enough and sadly a disappointing purchase. Would recommend looking for a longer version of Tiberius account than this.

All as expected!

On beginning this I got myself thinking that it must be expected to learn for all aspiring or actual heads of state, and senior military secret operatives, and must have been so for some time.

Roman history.

On other moments, knowledge appears to usually agree with other historians who wrote about the same periods. Always be wary of what the author writes and always ask what his goals were.

Hmmm....

First of all, I bought this AUDIObook for a Classic Civilization class that I'm currently engaged in that is committed to the Roman Emperor Nero, his reign, and the ultimate fall of the Julio-Claudian empire.

A classic! What more can be said?

Easy to understand as written only facts and circumstances as he describes them. I loved learning the little blurb about Christians that he inserts. Short but very enlightening as to how they were observed at the time.
