A politician needs a thick skin and must be able to withstand a lot. If you can't counter the citizens' displeasure by skilful self-promotion, the only option is to take your hat. But what if resignation is out of the question - as it was for an emperor of the Roman Empire? Tiberius (14-37 AD) did not have this "thick skin". A retreat into private life was not planned for him, and so he did not evade his duties, but he did evade the public, taking refuge in Capri.
But was Augustus' successor really a bad ruler? What is there to the excesses reported by Roman historians? Holger Sonnabend takes stock in this biography. He explores the political achievements of the second Roman emperor and traces his life. The picture that emerges is of a clever and far-sighted, but at the same time complicated and unhappy man who lost the people because of his lack of communicative skills.
