NOTES: |
Episode VII: Tiberius revels in a life of erotic hedonism, living only for perverted pleasures, egged on by Agrippina's cunning son Caligula. His former allies see his end ahead and build ties to Claudius, next in line for the throne. Livia, a mere shell of her former self, now regrets her son's savage reign. On her deathbed, she reveals the full scope of the family's crimes to Claudius - and makes him promise that she will be revered as a goddess for generations to come. |
NOTES: |
Episode VIII: Tiberius, old and frail, slowly begins killing off all who could succeed him. Fearing assassination, he orders a purge, leaving the Senate piled high with the bodies of his enemies. Claudius survives only through cleverness. Finally, Tiberius banishes his long-hated rival Agrippina along with her son, Nero. Caligula is now in a position to capture the throne. |
