Maurizio Bettini, Tiberio e il ministro dei piaceri su Repubblica 3-11-2010
[con Augias a dare l’imbeccata, su Repubblica del 29/10]
Avevamo parlato di questi parallelismi (Berlusconi-Nerone, Tiberio, etc.) sous rature qui (per quanto riguarda Tiberio, si segnalava la latinista Mary Beard sul Times del 3-6-2009 ”“If the emperor has no clothes, history will expose him - The Roman ruler Tiberius was as notorious for his sexual frolics as he was keen to keep them quiet. Remind you of anyone?”:
According to his Roman biographer Suetonius, “Bevies of girls and young men, collected from all over the place, used to have sex in threesomes in front of him, to excite his waning appetites.” More likely, perhaps, than the implausible rumours of Mr Berlusconi’s activities?
