Tiberius: The Emperor Who Never Wanted Rome | The Caesars Ep. 3

📢 Now on our new channel Agewake:    • Tiberius: The Emperor Who Never Wanted Rom...   He was Rome's greatest general, and he never wanted the throne. Forced to divorce the wife he loved, exiled by his own choice on Rhodes, and made heir only after everyone else had died, Tiberius ruled Rome for 23 years. He trusted one man, Sejanus, and then destroyed him with a single letter, while he watched for signal fires from a cliff on Capri. Here is the full story, from a childhood on the run to a contested death at Misenum in 37 CE.
