| Description | This paper deals with the riots in the theatre during Tiberius' reign, according to historian Tacitus. There are three examples with different methods of maintaining order, which are describing relationship between the senate, emperor, policing forces and keeping order. All of them occurred in the city of Rome and offer various kinds of reaction (of the authorities like the senate or the emperor). I will analyse these examples, more precisely the way Tacitus described them, and compare them with each other. Then I will propose a comprehensive image of security in the city of Rome based on what these examples can offer us. |
