Tiberius’s decision for leaving Rome more than once

Last but not least, one of the most interesting facts about Tiberius is he fled Rome twice for various reasons. He first relocated to Rhodes, a sign of exile. He chose to go into self-exile as a result of his compelled union with Julia. Rome traveled to Rhodes in 6 BCE when he decided to forsake politics.

But after a while, Tiberius discovered that Rhodes offered little to do. He started to grow upset, frustrated, and solely interested in his gratification as he came to understand that his abilities and skills were still contained within himself. He developed into a prideful and vicious guy as a result of this. He then made a statue of himself and requested that people worship it.

He wanted to return to Rome but was unable to do so until Augustus permitted him. In 2 BCE, he was allowed to return to Rome after being summoned by Augustus. After the passing of his son Drusus, he decided to leave Rome a second time. Tiberius gave Sejanus, a Praetorian Guard, control over his authority and abilities after Drusus's passing in 23 CE. Just for the title, he continued to rule as emperor. At the age of 67, Tiberius decided to depart Rome and travel to Italy. He left after promising to return in a short while, but he never did.
