Description:Excerpt from The Tragedy of the Caesars, Vol. 2 of 2: A Study of the Characters of the Caesars of the Julian and Claudian HousesPhilo the Jew tells us that he heard in Rome, on trustworthy authority, that Tiberius, had he lived longer, would have got rid of Caius, so as to secure the throne to Tiberius Gemellus, as he had reason to suspect the sinister mind of Caligula, 'who was full of evil will towards the whole Claudian family and considered only his mother's, the Julian, stock.' He says that Macro persuaded the old emperor that the character of Caius was not so malicious as he sup posed, and that more than once Macro acted as the protector of the young prince. the Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus, was born in the year that Tiberius died, and he has preserved to us-an interesting incident relative to the friendship of Agrippa and Caius.Herod stood high in favour with Antonia, and she often helped him in his pecuniary embarrassments. He lived in Rome, but was frequently at Tusculum, where he contracted a not disinterested friendship with Caligula, whom he believed to be destined for the empire.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
