>Sejanus’ fall also marked an end for many of his friends and supporters. His three children were also killed and his divorced wife Apicata committed suicide. It is worth mentioning here the extremely tragic death of one of his daughters Junilla, mentioned by Cassius Dio and Tacitus. As there was no precedent for the execution of a virgin to avoid the wrath of the gods, the executioner first raped the daughter of Sejanus and then strangled her.
>>221388696>sejANUSand you gotta love the retarded loopholes they find to not anger the gods
This all could have been avoided. Centuries of madness if Livia could have let tiberius retire and stay married to his first wife. Instead she put her mentally unstable children and grandchildren to rule through in power instead of turning rule back to the senate
>>221388696The Roman Empire is boring. Just a bunch of spoiled retards being spoiled and retarded with one or two reasonable ones. The Republic is kino though to the very end.
>>221388789Wasn't Germanicus also her grandson? Why did people assume she poisoned him so that her other grandson(s) could become Tiberius' heir?
>>221388726>crassuswas crass>brutuswas a brute
>>221388908He was selected as the Heir before Tiberius by Augustus and she pressured agustus to change it and make Tiberius Heir. She was ruling the empire through Tiberius because of Tiberius's weak leadership abilities. If Germanicus was heir she would be relegated to just a rich old lady.
>>221388908Disregarded by most modern historians btw, people back then just loved poison women conspiracy theories
>On the tenth day after that on which he received the surrender of the fortress of Memphis, Cambyses set the king of the Egyptians Psammenitos, who had been king for six months, to sit in the suburb of the city, to do him dishonour, — him I say with other Egyptians he set there, and he proceeded to make trial of his spirit as follows: — having arrayed his daughter in the clothing of a slave, he sent her forth with a pitcher to fetch water, and with her he sent also other maidens chosen from the daughters of the chief men, arrayed as was the daughter of the king: and as the maidens were passing by their fathers with cries and lamentation, the other men all began to cry out and lament aloud, seeing that their children had been evilly entreated, but Psammenitos when he saw it before his eyes and perceived it bent himself down to the earth. Then when the water-bearers had passed by, next Cambyses sent his son with two thousand Egyptians besides who were of the same age, with ropes bound round their necks and bits placed in their mouths; and these were being led away to execution to avenge the death of the Mytilenians who had been destroyed at Memphis with their ship: for the Royal Judges had decided that for each man ten of the noblest Egyptians should lose their lives in retaliation. He then, when he saw them passing out by him and perceived that his son was leading the way to die, did the same as he had done with respect to his daughter, while the other Egyptians who sat round him were lamenting and showing signs of grief.
>>221388696Robespierre is a good candidate>has countless people guillotined including people close to him because he's become paranoid>eventually gets stopped, decides to kill himself to escape popular tribunal>misses and blows his jaw off>gets judged and can't defend himself because he blew his mouth off>gets guillotined
Mussolini
>>221389047Startlingly similar to Chamfort. Attempted suicide (slashed wrists, shot self IIRC) when accused of wickedness during the Reign of Terror, but survived (in great pain) for a while. Think he died of the wounds eventually, not guillotine.
>>221388992>Disregarded by most modern historians btwMany such cases in Post-Augustus Rome.
>>221390433Henry VIII is horrendous too. The guy was rotting away.
>>221388696>mentioned by Cassius DioStopped right there
