What Tiberius Really Looked Like
Tiberius died when he was 78 years of age, but the cause of death is a bit mysterious. He was supposedly smothered with his own sheets, but it is also said that he was poisoned by Caligula, his succeeder. Located on the Palatine Hill in Rome was the Tiberius Palace. The ruins are there to this day, a popular tourist spot. This wax figure of Tiberius shows the color of his eyes, as well as a distinct nose and bone structure.
