1. Tiberio
Historia de un resentimiento
A psychohistorical portrait of Rome’s second emperor that traces how a shy, conflicted temperament, thwarted affections, and dynastic pressures bred a corrosive resentment that shaped his governance. Blending historical narrative with clinical insight, it follows his reluctant rise, episodes of exile and dissimulation, the sway of key figures like Livia and Sejanus, and the retreat to Capri, arguing that personal neuroses intertwined with political circumstance transformed a capable soldier into a suspicious, punitive autocrat who left Rome steeped in fear.
