Ancient writers such as Tacitus and Suetonius recount the Emperor's cruelty towards citizens of the Empire, without regard to age, sex, or station in life. Suetonius in particular recounted the Emperor's sexual perversions during his final years on the island of Capri. Tiberius ordered minors of both sexes be bought before him on Capri to provide sexual services for him and guests to the isle. In addition to his multiple perversions Tiberius also frequently accepted bribes from various interest groups to alter imperial policy in their favor. Tiberius left the head of his Praetorian Guard, Lucius Aelius Sejanus, in charge of Rome. Though there were numerous accusations of corruption, bribery and assults against Sejanus Tiberius left the empire in his hands while he retreated from puplic life and lived on Capri as a recluse. Sejanus ordered more treason trials in Tiberius's name than Julius and August Caesar combined in their entire terms and the burdens of proof at such trials were virtually non-existent.
