An Episode from the Life of Tiberius

“An Episode from Tiberius’s Life” — a historical novella by Vera Kryzhanovskaya (Rochester). Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus (42 BC — 37 AD) was the second Roman emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. In his youth, he fought extensively on the fringes of the vast empire. He first made his name by compelling the Parthians to return the Roman legion’s eagles—when, commanding a small army, he achieved what had previously been taken from them. Later, in the role of praetor, Tiberius fights in Europe. After his successes in Transalpine Gaul, he gains the powers of a consul.
