Returning back to Rome as a hero. Both Augustus and Tiberius had military experiences but only one of them could fulfill the needs of the Roman empire. When Tiberius became emperor, in 14 A.D, it was clear that his experience with the military would make him a great that would expand the Roman empire like Augustus, but he did not. Tiberius definitely had some big shoes to fill, he lacked the relationship that Augustus had with the Senate making…

power were not because of her riches or patrician family, in spite of the fact that she had both, rather it was the way that she had the favorable luck to marry the man who turned into Rome 's first emperor, Augustus, and bring forth its second, Tiberius. While coincidence placed Livia in recognitions way, she was brilliant and sufficiently skillful to exploit her circumstance and obtained a genuine impact during an era when women couldn 't vote, hold open office, or show up out in the open…

Nero’s rule over the empire wasn’t ideal from his first day, to his suicide 14 years later. There were two key events that really put Nero apart from his other fellow emperors. The first one was a fire that burned down three of Rome’s twelve districts.

Riots, economy issues, and ignoring overseas problems added to the…

I am here with you all to mourn the loss of our beloved emperor Antoninus Pius. During his reign of 24 years, he was known as one of the five good-rulers due to his skill, knowledge, and likeable personality.

I had the privilege of developing a close friendship with him since childhood and he was always a wonderful companion to have during both good…

The original text was displayed on two bronze tablets set in front of the mausoleum of Augustus in Rome, though multiple other…

In the early Empire the Emperor was in charge of all matters including military and political. The first lady would have had no say in what happened out of the household but in the household she could have had a lot of influence in what happened, but she would have taken no credit for it because it was all up to the Emperor. The Emperor had a huge influence in military matters and how the armies worked, meaning that it could have changed depending on what they wanted, regardless what others want…
