The movie continued on May 12th, 2011
The emperor sought council outside of their ranks.
Tiberius is now the leader of the Roman Empire.
Caligula "Bootsy" has his two older brothers in prison.
The time turned into a time of corruption and greed. People started to perform slavish acts.
Tiberius could not stop the purge.
In the year 26, Tiberius has turned his back on Rome and went to the island of Capri. He sought re leaf in astronomy. He created sex tribes. He decorated the rooms with Egyptian pornography.
In this system with Tiberius being able to do anything he wants, he can engage in this sick behavior and it is completely wrong with the Emperor being in charge and untouchable.
Some people think that Tiberius behavior was a result from led poisoning.
Caligula was his only surviving error.
Than the movie goes on and talks about Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. It does this because Augustus died and Tiberius started to rule right around Jesus' time in the First century.
