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.

The Blue Grotto of Capri is one of the island’s most iconic attractions, renowned for its breathtaking blue light and centuries-old legends. Discover the myths surrounding this enchanting sea cave, its rediscovery by August Kopisch in 1826, and the unique natural phenomenon that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
