Who Was Tiberius? The Second Roman Emperor

Tiberius was the second emperor of Rome, who came to power in 14 AD after Augustus. Born in 42 BC, he first distinguished himself as a successful military commander before being adopted by Augustus as his heir.

During his reign, he focused on consolidating rather than expanding the Roman Empire, carefully managing finances, strengthening the army, and ensuring political stability. However, his reserved and distrustful nature made his relationship with the Senate difficult.

In 26 AD, he moved to Capri, where he continued to rule and had the Villa Jovis built. His time on the island gave rise to many legends, often exaggerated by ancient historians.

He died in 37 AD and was succeeded by Caligula. Tiberius is remembered as a capable administrator who strengthened the foundations laid by Augustus, but also as a controversial figure closely associated with Capri.

On Saturday, April 13 at 10:30 AM, a new event of the project created by the president of Oro di Capri, Pierluigi Della Femina, will take place at the Cinema Paradiso in Anacapri, dedicated to expectant mothers and newborns.

The MammaEVO project places extra virgin olive oil at the center of children’s health, starting from the prenatal period. EVO oil is, in fact, recognized as a fundamental food for providing a balanced nutritional and energy contribution from the early stages of children’s lives.

During the event, sponsored by the Municipality of Anacapri, a gift box from Oro di Capri, containing the precious extra virgin olive oil produced by the olive growers of Anacapri, will be donated to the children born in 2023.
