Tiberius

constitution was not ready for a larger expanded pass romanian waters. Other reasons are Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, the Tribes, and the king that was the king after the fall Julius Caesar. Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus was a fundamentalist he thought out everything but his reputation did not start till he had saved the Mancinus army from being completely destroyed,“Tiberius did this on a treaty with the spanish”. Tiberius was going to follow his father's ways and be on the senate for Rome but…

The historical account that appeal to me the most was by Suetonius about Tiberius. I chose it among others because I found it to be the most informative and balanced one. It gave just enough background information on where Tiberius came from and how his life was before he became an emperor; right in the beginning Suetonius said where Tiberius was born—even though there was a doubt on where and when he was actually born— and how he started to accompanying Augustus…

Sources say that Caligula had Tiberius's will nullified in regard to Tiberius Gemellus, but otherwise, it was left the same. When Caligula accepted the title of principate and entered Rome the crowd called him names such as “our star” and “our baby”. He is described as one of the most admired and loved by the citizens of Rome as he was the son of the beloved Germanicus and also because of the fact that he was not Tiberius. His first acts as emperor of Rome were said to be generous and kind, for…

Emperor Gaius Germanicus, better known as Caligula, was the third emperor of the new century and the heir of Tiberius. Caligula came from a hard past. As the son of Germanicus, he had to witness the murder of his brothers and the exile of his mother and sister. Caligula’s reign began as a welcome change of pace after the absence of Tiberius and the cruelty of Sejanus, however, according to BBC, things did not stay as satisfactory in years to come. After just seven months into…

Caesar, Augustus began to modify the system. He discussed important matters with other senators although it was obvious that only his decisions counted. Tacitus, however, decided to write about the period after Augustus’s death, when the rule of Tiberius, Gaius, Claudius and Nero were falsely outlined. Tacitus, author of Tacitus the Annals of Imperial Rome, was known to be a Roman public speaker and official. He was born in southern Gaul and later in his life, he was trained to work in…

This biographical sketch primarily looks at the life of Augustus Caesar from his birth to his death. Looking at achievements he made as an emperor of the Ancient Rome and how he acquired the power. His family is also looked into. The first emperor after the death of Julius Caesar, Caesar Augustus, commonly known as Octavian was born Gaius Octavius on September 23, 63 B.C., in Velletri, Italy approximately 40km from Rome, into an old and wealthy equestrian branch of the plebian Octavii family.…

exploitation. Another significant reform introduced by Gaius was that he extended citizenship beyond that of only Romans to include Latin allies, encountering resistance from the senate. Unsurprisingly perhaps, Gaius met the same fate as his brother Tiberius when the nobles rallied against him and his supporters, resulting in their deaths. This conflict and violence was unprecedented in Rome before, as Roman constitution had no written rule for their laws, but rather relied on a tradition in…

overpopulated every legislative body. Those courageous enough to defy typical conventions and the hierarchy of Roman politics encountered delightfully diverse methods of death. The most notable examples of Roman politicians who died in infamy were Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, tribunes who encouraged populist land reforms and repeatedly flouted the limits of their power. While their reforms were necessary, the Gracchi brothers’ rebellion further engendered an authoritarian relationship between…

time Rome was still a republic and had not yet become an empire. During the Republic there were multiple uprisings against the establishment and the Senate. In 133 B.C. Tiberius Gracchus was elected tribune in Rome and from there proposed land legislation that would limit the holding of public land by any individual. Tiberius’ intent for this act is recorded in a document called “Appian of Alexandria, The Civil Wars”. In this document that was written in 100 A.D. by Appian of Alexandria, a…

Born the son of Gaius Octavius and Atia Balba Caesonia, Augustus Caesar was known by many names, each possessing a certain period of his long life. He was born on the 23rd of September, 63 B.C, and was given the name Octavius then Octavian after the Emperor Julius Caesar adopted him. Only after he was appointed the first emperor of Rome was he given the title of Augustus Caesar. Octavian’s father, Gaius Octavius, was first in the family to be elected into the high office of the Roman senate.…
