THE VILLA OF TIBERIUS IS A ROMAN VILLA COMPLEX IN THE PRESENT-DAY TOWN OF SPERLONGA, LOCATED ON THE WESTERN COAST OF ITALY IN THE PROVINCE OF LATINA.
The villa was first constructed during the Late Republican Era around 30 to 20 BC near to a large sea opening or grotto, for which “Spelunca” (Latin for cave or grotto) was named.
Emperor Tiberius expanded the site during the 1st century AD to serve as his own personal retreat, enhanced with a gymnasium, Roman baths, terraces, private moorings, and several pools fed by natural springs and salt water from a coastal lake.

In AD 31 Sejanus was summoned to a meeting of the Senate, where a letter from Tiberius was read condemning Sejanus and ordering his immediate execution. Rule #1:
Never trust a guy with "anus" in his name.

Aside: Tiberius could have summoned him to his palace and had him carry the sealed judgment to the senate where it would be unsealed and read.

Nice pictures. The site is easy to figure out even today.
It would still make a fine summer villa location for a modern billionaire.

After he withdrew to Capri, I was always wondering why they didn’t just depose him and ignore him. They could have reconstituted the Republic, like they claimed they wanted.
He certainly didn’t rule much, yet they invested him with such power. The office of Emperor was still evolving and could have been changed.
Oh well..he had a great little hideaway...

According to Roman Historian Suetonius’ biography of Tiberius (Tiberius 44.1):
He [Tiberias] acquired a reputation for still grosser depravities that one can hardly bear to tell or be told, let alone believe. For example, he trained little boys (whom he termed tiddlers) to crawl between his thighs when he went swimming and tease him with their licks and nibbles; and unweaned babies he would put to his organ as though to the breast, being by both nature and age rather fond of this form of satisfaction.
Tiberias was very much like our Epstein Island Elites today…
