Tiberius Caesar

Núria Cadenes has written the great novel of Emperor Tiberius, the story of a key moment in a grand, brutal, and tragic Rome.

This is the story of Tiberius, son of Livia, successor to Augustus, second emperor of Rome, ruthless conqueror of Pannonia and Germania, a man of tortured spirit, in love, taciturn, cruel, and cultured. This is the story of the city that built its dominion over half the world: laws, marble, and plunder. Núria Cadenes magnificently recreates first-century Rome and immerses us, perhaps as never before, in the inner and most human experiences of its protagonists, particularly the women, who here take on a new and deserved prominence. Written with spectacular and hypnotic verbal force, Tiberius Caesar is a historical and intimate novel, the story of a key moment in a grand, brutal, and tragic Rome, just like the people who made it.
