Tiberius Caesar: Emperor of Rome.

Original softcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. XI, 322 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Partly bleached binding, staining on bottom edge, otherwise very good and clean. / Teils verblichener Einband, Anschmutzung auf Fußschnitt, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - The great conundrum of his character and the political significance of his long reign, which solidified the imperial government of Rome, render the life of Tiberius Caesar (42 B.C.-37A.D.)second emperor of Rome and successor of Augustusa subject of perennial interest. From the mass of available evidence, two men can be constructed, both equally credible: one, an upright, gruff soldier-statesman, austere, just, capable; the other, a corrupt, murderous tyrant with gargantuan and depraved appetites. In another in a series of superb biographies of ancient figures, G. P. Baker provides an astute and fair-minded assessment of Romes most psychologically complex and contradictory emperor, a man whoaccording to Roman historian Dio Cassiuspossessed many virtues and many vices. - Deaf since the age of eight, G. P. Baker (1879-1951) became one of the most popular and respected historians of the 1920s and 1930s. He was the author of Hannibal and Augustus (both available from Cooper Square Press), as well as biographies of Sulla the Fortunate, Constantine the Great, Justinian, and Charlemagne.
