Tiberius has always been one of the most enigmatic of the Roman emperors. At the same time, his career is uniquely important for the understanding of the Empire's development on the foundations laid by Augustus. Barbara Levick offers a comprehensive and engaging portrait of the life and times of Tiberius, including an exploration of his ancestry and his education, an analysis of his provincial and foreign policy and an examination of his debauched final years and his posthumous reputation. This new edition of Tiberius the Politician contains a new preface and a revised bibliography. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I'm not at all sure who this book is aimed at. It feels the need to gloss words like 'eques' and 'gens', when they first appear but also seems to pre-suppose a quite detailed knowledge of the historical background and events in the life of Tiberius, which form the basis for very dense prosopographical discussion and exploration of such themes as the development of the legal concept of maiestas. Several times I found myself floundering over casual references to persons and events who are only discussed a couple of chapters later. The more the reader already knows about the period, the more they will get out of this book, I am sure. (
