The Last Time Tiberius Set Foot in Rome

In 26 AD, Tiberius decided to retreat to his villa on the island of Capri and leave Rome to its own devices. No one knew it at the time, but when he left the city that year, it would be the last time Tiberius would actually set foot in Rome. The truth is that Tiberius was probably terrified of returning to the city. Convinced as he was that as soon as he did, the mobs would riot and tear him limb from limb.
