Abstract:
The death of Tiberius was not natural. Ancient historiography shifted
responsibility for this either to Caligula or to Q.Naevius Sutorius Macro
(Macron) in different ways. This latter was praefectus vigilum and,
after the overthrow of Seianus, praefectus of the praetorium. Macron
had a complex personality, as it emerges from the flattering portrait
of Philo of Alexandria: during the early years of Caligula’s reign, he was
his adviser, but after having fallen out of emperor’s favor, he committed
suicide together with his wife. Evidences of his fortune as well as
downfall can be traced among the monuments of his native city, Alba
Fucens.
