Tiberius was certainly not a perfect ruler, but he had his strong points. Rome prospered financially under his reign. Moreover, he had to take over after none other than Augustus, one of the most incredible and influential people in all of human history. Following in the footsteps of someone like that is very hard.

Yes being dragged around on a military campaign where you slaughter people and enslave them wholesale may not have been the best environment for a youth. Also given prostitutes regularly followed the army, Caligula would have also seen many soldiers during their more "vulnerable" moments.

It's important to note that every Roman Emporer - any ruler of any nation actually - needs to be ruthless. Especially in those days; what is considered abhorrent and cruel to us today would probably be considered normal by us had we been living 2000 years ago.

My second year Latin class had us use Cassius Dio (iirc) explaining how Tiberius liked to swim with teenagers and have them nibble his bits to translate from Latin. The awkward giggling going on in that class was great.

You avoided much of the more salacious and hyperbolic stories surrounding Tiberius and gave a kinder but measured assessment of his reign. Had he not been forced to divorce Vipsania, had his son not died and had Sejanus not influenced him, he would have been considered one of the better emperors. But his paranoia ruined him and the lives of many around him.

That is a pretty good summarisation of emperor Tiberius. I once watched a documentary that told about Roman emperors in general, and was shocked when all those infamous, wild claims about Tiberius's perversions and sexual orgies were repeated. They were not even presented as rumours of the time, they were presented as facts! No documentary should be so biased in its presentation. On another note, watching this video made Tiberius appear to me like another Roman emperor many decades later; namely, Domitianus. He, too, was unpopular amongst the senate and was also haunted by paranoia during his later years, yet overall does not seem to be as bad an emperor as the Roman historians (especially Tacitus) insinuate, even if he was far from a perfect ruler. Tiberius's reign seems to be a similar case.

Actually, it was Octavian that 'ruined' Tiberius' Marriage with Vipsania, Marcus Aggrippa's Daughter. The final insult was one of Octavian's last slights to his step son; to adopt his nephew Germanicus over his son Drusus. Caligula suffered some sort of nervous breakdown several months into his reign and never really recovered. The vast majority of the issues that Tiberius had to deal with during his reign as Emperor was left to him by his Uncle Octavian. His place in history and his legacy was saved and preserved by Tiberius. The Roman Empire would have further fractured and even fell into another state of Civil War if Tiberius had not become Emperor, which he didn't want to do.

It's kind of funny how americans complain about the use of the word "corn" to describe maize, when maize is the original american name (there are many variants of the word "maize" in Europe), while the corn is an old european word for grain. The editor screwed up by showing maize, though.

Tiberius was a very good & selfless ruler who did not desire to be the Crowned ''Caesar'', but loved being 2nd to his spiritual father, Augustus, the spiritual son of Julius, the 1st Citizen of Roman Civilization that Romulus wanted for his people. He saved Augustus' life from an assassination attempt & rejected Lavinia's poisonous schemes to secure her success to crown him as Caesar. He left Rome wealthier than any before or after him!

In Rome, it often seems to be the case of.......Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

These docs are fantastic.

Tiberius in his earlier years seemed like a decent man. When he lost his father, his mom (Livia) maries Octavian (Augustus). Drussus dies, divorces Vipsania, and marries superslut Julia. There’s more, his evil mother Livia is manipulating (poisoning) his way for the emperorship. Who would want to be around that drama in Rome? He enjoyed his life on the battlefield. He got tired of Julia’s nonsense, and went to Rhodes. He was forced to come back because Augustus ran out of heirs. Augustus passes in AD 14, Tiberius is 51. He’s tired of it all, he has to rule. Then Germanicus comes along, he’s gaining popularity. Tiberius feels threatened. Livia delivers her final coup de grace, by having Germanicus, scared (superstition ) and poisoned to death through Piso strings. Then Livia dies. Tiberius is very unpopular in Rome. He meets Sejanus, who handles his work. Tiberius decides to go to Capri. Tiberius discovers that Sejanus is trying to eliminate him. He has him killed. Then he selects Caligula as his heir. Tiberius was so mad that he wanted someone worse than him to be emperor. Who in their right mind would be a decent person, if Tiberius had to go through all that hell. It was a cutthroat existence. Politically, Tiberius did take care of the Empire. The treasury was full. The empire was maintained. There were no high risk expansions. He was a lost soul, but the empire was still strong.

Like most Roman emperors by his actions showed he had more power than he could mentally handle.

Excellent video, just excellent. x

Every name you mentioned has a face as far as I am concerned. When you spoke of Germanicus I saw David Robb in that role in the wonderful series of the BBC adapting the Graves books about the life of Cladius and how he becomes Ceasar. Tiberius is hard to understand and so he was in the series too. Loyal, remote, angry, capable, blind to real danger and vindictive as he grooms Caligula so that history will always have to admite he wasn't all that bad in comparison to the son of Germanicus.

I give Tiberius a 7/10.

I think history repeatedly illustrates as to how such responsibilities can effect one’s character, depending upon very many related conditions and situations. With the possibility of rising Narcissism, that can alter and distract anyone to perverse activities. I think we see that in many Roman Emperors throughout their chequered reigns.

How accurate R. This historian got this history right I'm hook on this emperors doc...I would love to have being born on those days

The English in this documentary is simply beautiful

Yet again, I am left with a completely different impression of a historical character by one documentary, as compared to others that I have listened to concerning them. I find myself on the verge of feeling admiration and a touch of sympathy for Tiberius, rather than envisioning the operatic stereotype of a dark, devious and brooding antagonist with a befitting baritone.

Did anyone ask Tribute Aquila whether it was okay to make this awesome documentary?! 😱

This is another very well done documentary that reinforces that people are rarely as black and white as history makes them out to be. That's what I like best about this channel; the writers do what they can to present as many different perspectives as possible. The question "do you think he was A or B" usually generates the answer "a mix of both."

This is my favorite compilation of Tiberius. I feel like he was very misunderstood, and history has painted a much different hyperbolic picture of him. Every Roman ruler needed to have some form of paranoia Someone or senators were always plotting in the background to assassinate them.

I'm impressed by this video. It was excellent and I'm very glad you did justice to Tiberius. He was Rome's best military commander and a very well educated man. When he went to Capri, he took scholars with him, not prostitutes, which speaks a lot about the man and his preoccupations. It saddens me that to this day he has such a bad reputation. His austere and quiet nature didn't do him any favours. I think he should have delegated power in his later years to someone else than Sejanus, who was ruthlessly ambitious. Augustus had Tiberius who could he trust in his old age, Tiberius had nobody. His son was killed by Sejanus poisoned. When you're old and vulnerable you're far more likely to believe accusations, especially when they're made by someone who saved your life-Sejanus. What happened to Agrippina and her sons was very sad, poor Caligula was traumatised probably - if it did not made him a monster but it certainly contributed. What happened to Sejanus' family was extremely sad too.

Augustus did not like Tiberius, but he had no choice of heir. Tiberius did not want the thrown but did his duty nevertheless. Tiberius knew his position was dangerous hence why acted the way he did and especially with Germanicus who was the charismatic loved hero of Rome who had the support of the Northern Army who Tiberius knew would put him in danger. Caligula was actually quite a good administrator during his first months as emperor as everyone thought the days of Augustus would return only for his sickness and coma to drive him mad and paranoid that people were after him... can you blame a guy with a traumatized childhood and as a teenager seeing the political landscape would only contribute to his paranoia.

He gives the impression of a somewhat unrestrained, rude, but quite popular and adequate person. I have no doubt that his father would have taught him to rule well. The same would probably have happened had Germanicus survived, although Tiberius himself would have preferred to have Drusus as his successor.

As for Agrippina the Elder and their mutual hatred with Tiberius, her deepest reasons become obvious if we remember who her mother was and what role Tiberius played in her fate (it was always surprising that this fact was not paid attention to).

Tiberius faced a daunting task following Augustus, yet Rome flourished financially under his rule. Despite imperfections, his legacy is marked by stability and prosperity, underscoring the importance of succession planning in shaping historical reputations.

Thanks for the fascinating article. I did read in the book Ten Caesars by B. Strauss, that , and Strauss does say ' if the sources can be trusted' , that Tiberius' sister in law , Antonia the younger, tipped Tiberius off that Sejanus was planning a conspiracy against him. She wrote a letter to Tiberius in year 31 to warn him. Tiberius trusted her, and by October 18 of year 31 , Tiberius called Sejanus out in the Senate , personally , and that was the end of Sejanus.

I can't wait for one on Caligula

We're all a product of what our circumstances are and Tiberius seemed to be a product of his treatment under Augustus. Then later he became that which made him and it produced Caligula. Augustus was a "great" emperor, but he treated his family very coldly. When compounded with unexpected deaths and whatnot, this trickled down to those that he didn't treat with a great deal of compassion or care (and the man didn't seem to be very compassionate or caring). I'm not blaming Augustus for Tiberius' cruelty or Caligula's so called insanity (which I think is highly debatable), but he unwittingly and probably not unfoundedly, smart as he was, set up a model that facilitated the paranoia and general problems with the rest of the Judio-Claudian dynasty. Edit: I want to be clear that I'm a Psychology graduate that, during college, got very interested in history and particularly Roman history. But I'm not a historian. I do try to look at everything I've learned about the history that I've learned about from a human lens. So don't burn me at the stake because x piece of evidence clearly disproves what I'm saying. Even then, evidence that old isn't really truth. It's a guide.

Augustus such an idiot for that one. He should have kept and breeded his sons early. He literally knew how fragile his line was.

Tiberius left the empire in a stronger position than when he found it. Caligula was flush with cash at the beginning of his reign thanks to the frugality of Tiberius. Tiberius also didn't get involved in any disastrous military conflicts.

He managed to govern the empire very well despite of his own personal failings. If you judge on results rather than morality then Tiberius would have to be ranked very high on the list of emperors. I think there is good reason to be suspicious of some of the stories history has recorded about his behaviour as well. The main problem for his legacy IMO is that he succeeded the greatest emperor and would always look worse in comparison.

Morally they were basically all terrible people, lol. It's more competence vs incompetence. Nero and Caligula were incompetent. Augustus and Claudius both had their fair share of morally terrible actions. Augustus was super competent though and Claudius was good enough.

I remember all names dropped in this video and their relevance to understanding Roman history

As far as my poor brain counts, he died 79, not 77.

Very good.

Uma aula de história romana ! 👏👏👏👏

Always liked the content, but I find it notable that this channel's portraits went from fairly average to among the best art I've seen; that looks like Tiberius and tells a story. Same effect with your Vlad video, and especially Longshanks.

Awesome video hopefully we get a Domitian and Trajan

It's extremely unlikely that Tiberius had sent Piso to check on Germanicus. Piso notoriously disliked Tiberius (Ann. 2.43), and certainly had no legal authority as a legatus over Germanicus, boasting an imperium maius. Beside, there's no actual evidence Tiberius distrusted his adoptive son, and Germanicus successfully carried his diplomatic mission, so I fail to see any point in the idea the emperor sent Piso as a watchdog.

Besides, Piso attempted to take the province by violence right after Germanicus died, despite a new governor was already appointed. Seems Germanicus was there to keep an eye on Piso, in fact. Piso later attempted to negotiate with Tiberius' son without success.

Not having studied Tiberius‘s rule in depth, I would say he was caught between a rock and a hard place meaning who ruled: the emperor or of the senate and it was only until Caligula took power that he (Caligula)realized the emperor could do whatever the hell he wanted. (I.e. name a horse to the Senate, sending elimination to bring back seashells etc). so Tiberius was stuck in that middle ground where the emperor empire was still forming itself.

For those interested in the life of Tiberius, there are four truly remarkable versions of the Emperor in popular afterlife: -In the 1968 series "The Caesars", Tiberius (played by André Morell) is a nice man who rules with some cruelty but always with justice. The scene in which he bursts into tears after discovering that Sejanus killed his son and that because of him Sejanus' young children have been horribly killed is just unforgettable. -In the 1976 mini-series "I, Claudius", we see the life of Tiberius (played by George Baker) from his youth until his death, showing how his mother gradually turned him into the disgusting being known in History. -In the 1979 film "Caligula", the last days of Tiberius (played by Peter O'Toole) are shown, with the Emperor being depicted as an emaciated pedophile dying of syphilis whose traces of humanity disappeared a long time ago. -In the 1985 miniseries "A.D.", Tiberius (played by James Mason) is a depressed man fed up with life who doesn't want to know anything about Rome despite the advice of his friend Nerva (who ends up committing suicide), staying in such negative state until his death in complete solitude.
