Tiberius

A Captivating Guide to the Life of Ancient Rome's Second Emperor and How He Ruled the Roman Empire

De: Captivating History

Narrado por: Colin Fluxman

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!

Awesome

I wish I would have all of the Annals by Tacitus. I am pleased with this volume.

good stroy on Tiberius

great short Information on the second Roman Emperor. Tiberius hold Rome up for yearslong and peace.

Perfect

First of all, I purchased this book for a Classic Civilization class that I'm currently enrolled in that is solely dedicated to the Roman Emperor Nero, his reign, and the ultimate fall of the Julio-Claudian empire.

This book is wonderful

This book is wonderful; it explains the history of Rome and its rulers from the time of the twins Romulus and Remus. It also explains the complex machinations of the early rulers (including Julius Ceasar) and why the citizens were unwilling to have an emperor.

Awesome

Tacitus' Rome stands out as a mighty example of a naked, bloody fight for absolute power and of an internal struggle to keep this power under the adage: `kill or be killed'. His book paints a very dark picture of human nature and affairs.
