If you want a further laugh, search on Seutonius and Tiberius. Seutonius was a historian who produced short biographies of the early Roman emperors, and whose method was to include any and every piece of scandal he could find. He plainly did not like Tiberius, and included some really appalling details/rumors about what Tiberius was doing during his years on the island of Capri. I will not stoop to our troll's level and imply a connection between him and his historical namesake, but it is still quite funny. Of course, one needs to wonder, why Tiberius as a namesake? Was "Augustus" or "Trajan" already taken?
