Villa Iovis

From this clifftop villa the emperor Tiberius ran the Roman world for the last decade of his life, having abandoned Rome for Capri around AD 27. Villa Jovis clings to the north-east cliffs some 300 metres above the sea, a complex of imperial apartments, baths and huge cisterns reached by a long climb. Ancient gossips, Suetonius above all, filled it with lurid tales of the old emperor's cruelties and pleasures, including a drop from which victims were supposedly hurled to the rocks. History or slander, the ruins and the sheer fall are real, and the view is imperial.
