After he withdrew to Capri, I was always wondering why they didn’t just depose him and ignore him. They could have reconstituted the Republic, like they claimed they wanted.
He certainly didn’t rule much, yet they invested him with such power. The office of Emperor was still evolving and could have been changed.
Oh well..he had a great little hideaway...
Like today's Republicans- talk a good show, but choke when it comes to something important.
