Tiberius’ complex character is the key to understanding his reign. Challenging the common ancient view of Tiberius as a consummate hypocrite, Seager portrays him instead as a man whose virtues and beliefs were corrupted by power, who lost his grasp of reality as his fears of conspiracy and assassination spiralled out of control, and who finally resorted to ruling by terror.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003esecond edition\u003c\/i\u003e of this highly readable biography contains a substantial afterword, reconsidering various questions and discussing important new evidence that has come to light since the book was first published.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990390391013,"sku":"NP9781405115285","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405115285.jpg?v=1761787634","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/tiberius-isbn-9781405115285","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
