NOTES: |
Episode V: Augustus grows more senile. Tiberius bides his time. But when revelations of Livia's crimes reach Augustus, the emperor, realizing he has been duped, writes a new will favoring Postumus, in order to block Tiberius from gaining the throne. Livia, in her ultimate act of treachery, slowly poisons her husband. After his death, she substitutes her own version of the emperor's will and orders the murder of her remaining rivals. Tiberius rules Rome. |
NOTES: |
Episode VI: Suspicions of a conspiracy involving Livia and Tiberius abound. A Senate trial must be rigged to clear the emperor's henchmen. But when the cover-up begins to unravel, one of the defendants threatens to implicate Tiberius himself in murder. He lives just long enough to regret his threat. |
