A very youthful Tiberius …
… good looking fellow Tiberius :-) Since he didn’t succeed his adoptive father until the age of 55, this portrait was probably carved at an earlier time, possibly before his temporary and more or less self imposed exile to Rhodes.
At the time Rome’s most successful and celebrated general, Tiberius seemed to have had a very complex personality, a love/hate relationship with Augustus and a much troubled love life.
