Tiberius and Caligula. end

top

whole series of conspiracy was organized against Tiberius. Proof procured Seyhan, commander of the praetorian palace. Who knows if it was true. But gradually, Tiberius began to trust only the seed time and allows to increase the number of guards to nine cohorts, not aware of the terrible precedent that creates. And disposed of Capri.

can not say that there is on the island he prekatil board. But the orders passed by Sejanus, who betrayed them for pleasure, so, soon became a true master of Rome. Seyhan revealed очередной заговор устроеный Попеем Сабинием, Агриппиной и Нероном и добился авторизации на из наказание. Первый был умервщлен, вторая выслана на Пантеллерию, third, committed suicide. Drusus was dead, and also in Libya, "Mother Motherland" as they called it a mockery.

Once, sister Antonia, mother of Germanicus and sent him a secret memo, risking their lives, warning that the Seyhan, in turn, organized a plot to assassinate the emperor and be in his place. Tiberius posted Letter to the order to arrest the traitor and send it to the process in the Senate, who for many years been terrorized by this satrap. Not only Seyhan, but all of its Relatives and friends were killed. The youngest daughter, because the law prohibits the killing of virgins to deflower a process. Wife committed suicide, but no sooner than Tiberius sent a letter which announced Leeville, daughter of Antonia's accomplice Sejanus. Tiberius had arrested her. Agrippina also committed suicide.


And Tiberius, deep in this family from the blood of slaughter and betrayal, naturally, was no longer the man he had been at one time. Lived for six years and seems that his mind was damaged. In the 37 th decided to leave Capri, and on the way, in Campania, caught the disease, possibly myocardial-infarction. The courtiers, seeing that he is recovering, they covered him with a pillow and suffocated.

Tiberius kept the peace, improved administration, has enriched the coffers. Empire seemed to be intact, but its capital rotted more and more. To build a dam on the path of decay, would need a firm hand of the great reformer. And maybe, Tiberius believed that he sees this second son Agrippina and Germanicus, Gaye, whom the soldiers with whom he grew up in Germany, called Caligula, or Sapozhok, on behalf of the military-style shoes that I loved to wear.



And indeed, at first it seemed that the choice is correct. Caligula showed himself generous to the poor, created an appearance of democracy, returning to the Assembly of its power, was already known as a worthy and conscientious soldier. His sudden and rapid change, is inexplicable except as a hypothesis of the disease attack the brain: типичный случай шизофрении, или разрушения личности. Начались ночные кошмары и приступы страха, особенно, если была гроза, — бегал по дворцу умоляя о помощи. Large and massive, athletic sports, spent hours in front of a mirror making faces, which went perfectly because of strabismus and a small bald spot in the form of tonsure. One day, fell in love with the Egyptian civilization, and decided to move its customs to Rome. Claimed by the senators, that he kissed the feet to fight in the circus with gladiators, allowing himself regularly kill and to elected consul of his horse, who ordered to build a marble box with a trough of ivory. In imitation of Egypt, took himself a mistress of his two sisters. Even one, Drusilla married, appointing the heir to the throne, then expelled her to grab Orestillu a day when she walked down the aisle with Guy Python. Stopped on fourth wife Tsezonii, who was pregnant when her acquaintance, and decent ugly. It is unknown why, remained loyal and attached.

possible that Dio Cassius and Suetonius in his hatred of the monarchy, a bit exaggerated, but mad Kaligola was real. One morning, woke up with an allergy to the bald, bald, and all have given to food animals in the circus. Later, he felt sick from philosophers, and he was sentenced to death or exile. Saved only by his uncle Claudius was considered as an idiot, and a young Seneca, to convince everyone that it is very seriously ill. Without knowing more than one chase, forced to commit suicide his grandmother Antonia just because one day, looked at it found that Her head was beautiful, but badly sat on his neck. In the end, zaimel even with Jupiter. Said that this bubble inflated, the usurper of the throne the king of the gods, and commanded to fight off the head all its statues and replacing them on their own.

a pity, because in rare moments of enlightenment was a nice, hearty, hilarious, humorous, sarcastic, and his words would not climb. One cobbler nazvavschemu his face, "clown", he replied: "It is true, but think of my subjects are worth more than me?". Indeed, if it cost more, one way or another to get rid of him. Instead, applauded and kissed his feet, led by Senators.

required a strong commander of the praetorian Cassius dick to liberate Rome from this affliction. Caligula, having fun, appointed as a guard for passwords filthy insults. Cassius was a touchy and one evening in the hallway of the theater he stabbed his dagger. The city did not dare believe it. Afraid that this is one of the tricks of Caligula to see who is glad of his death and to punish them afterwards. To show everyone that this is true, Praetorians also killed his wife Tsezoniyu and smashed his head the wall of his daughter.

It was the final in full unison with the characters and the gloomy climate of terror and madness, in which they lived. But Rome has been this: the capital of the Empire where unbridled satrapizmu was no alternative but to regicide, and regicide required mercenaries. The Romans were unable to kill even more of their tyrants.
