Tiberius: A Biography
This updated biography focuses on the complex character of Tiberius, the second Roman emperor, as the key to understanding his reign. Seager portrays Tiberius as a man whose virtues and beliefs were corrupted by power, leading him to become increasingly paranoid about conspiracy and assassination.
A new afterword discusses important new evidence that has shed light on the reign of Tiberius, adding depth to this readable account of his life.
