3.5 Stars
Robin Seager has written a comprehensive look at the career of Tiberius, rather than the life of Tiberius. This isn't bad, but it does leave some important factors out as for Tiberius, perhaps more than anyone, it is vital to understand the man in order to understand the Emperor. And this fact isn't lost to Seager, he calls it out himself, yet we get little to no discussion of Tiberius' temperament, habits, or relations outside of how it pertains to Tiberius' career. On one hand it's an advantage to this biography that Seager barely touches on the scandalous gossip surrounding Tiberius, especially the last half of his reign. There is a very concentrated effort to not address the outlandish but instead to make sense of the reasonable. But the downside to this is that in some cases important stories are left unaddressed. For example, did a younger Tiberius try to blackmail his younger brother with a forged letter, and if so, how does this play intoRobin Seager has updated his classic biography of Tiberius, which focuses on the Emperor's complex character as the key to understanding his reign.
