And the seduction of the fact the old man is away, he's going to die. I have to secure my future. And there's an opportunity here for me and my family to improve ourselves. The problem was he was an equestrian, right? And the imperial family sees them as a component of society to be manipulated and used, but not as a place where they're going to find successors.

Oh, grief. Well, there are two sorts. One, there's Tacitus, and then there's Diocasius, and then they give us slightly different things, but in a nutshell. So we have a situation where Sionis is able to eliminate not only Tiberius' enemies, but his own. And this gives him immense power. And of course, what he can do by eliminating threats, he can begin to consolidate his own power in this.

And what's intriguing is that Antonia, who is the mother of Claudius, the wife of Nero Claudius Drusus, With the old grand dame of the family, if you will. She's a lady quite old in years. But amongst all the family who it seems to be is suspected by Tiberius, he trusts her. So she is able to gather this evidence.

And I wonder whether he was able to use some of the speculators who had this intelligence gathering function. Who knows? These are the sort of details that get lost. But somehow or other, information was collected without Sianos knowing. And this is delivered. She actually is able to get to Capri.

We have to imagine that she has to get permission from Sianos because, of course, they've got to lay on a security detail. And what are you going there for, ma'am? Oh, I'm going to visit my nephew or something. And... That happens. She goes and she presents this dossier, we have to assume. And it's, for Tiberius, devastating. I mean, this man, for 17 years, he has trusted.

But the mindset, from what I've been able to piece together, Tiberius, he is a military man who believes in a mission is given to be completed. And you screw up, there's discipline that goes with that. And that's one of the things you read in Suetonius is that he was a disciplinarian, but the troops liked him for that.

And to find one of his own handpicked men to portray him like that, he has to deal with it. And a bit of garland cunning. And I mentioned earlier where they set up this thing. So rather than sending a guard detailer to arrest him there and then, there's an element of humiliation and public spectacle that he makes out of this. He calls the head macro of the urban cohorts, who is another equestrian.
