Synopsis
"The History Of That Inimitable Monarch Tiberius" by John Rendle is a critical synthesis of competing ancient testimonies about Tiberius’s reign, Sejanus’s rise and fall, and the fate of early Christians and Jews in Rome. The work weighs the credibility of Tacitus, Suetonius, Dion Cassius, Josephus, Philo, V. Maximus, Juvenal, and other sources, highlighting contradictions and the difficulty of distinguishing fact from rumor. It foregrounds historiography and source criticism, examining how imperial and Judean accounts diverge and how later writers reshape earlier events. The narrative traces Sejanus’s ascent from Praetorian prefect to powerful manipulator of Rome’s elite, and it scrutinizes the poisoning of Drusus, Livilla’s alleged role, Agrippa’s movements, and the post–Sejanus aftermath across conflicting testimonies. Debates over expulsions of Jews and the treatment of Christians in Rome are set against a broader chronology centered on Capreae and the capital. The volume culminates in a broader reflection on how early Christian and Jewish histories intersect with Roman political narratives, offering a Christian-leaning reinterpretation of Tiberius’s religious policy and legacy.
