=== Popular culture === Tiberius has been represented in fiction, in literature, film and television, and in video games, often as a peripheral character in the central storyline. The following is a list of appearances Tiberius made in popular culture. * He appears in the 1934 novel ''[[I, Claudius]]'' by [[Robert Graves]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.booktalk.org/i-claudius.php |title=''I, Claudius'': From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius β Robert Graves|publisher=Booktalk.org |access-date=2008-09-20 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080618094451/http://www.booktalk.org/i-claudius.php |archive-date = 18 June 2008}}</ref> and the consequent [[BBC]] [[I, Claudius (TV series)|television series]] adaptation, where he is portrayed by [[George Baker (British actor)|George Baker]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/cinema/features/iclaudius.shtml |title=BBC Four Drama β ''I, Claudius'' |publisher=BBC |access-date=2008-09-20}}</ref> * [[George R. R. Martin]], the author of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' series, has stated that central character [[Stannis Baratheon]] is partially inspired by Tiberius Caesar, and particularly the portrayal by Baker.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://grrm.livejournal.com/310379.html?thread=17203563 |title=Not a Blog: It's the Pits|date=2013-01-21|access-date=2016-12-27}}</ref> * In the 1968 [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] historical drama ''[[The Caesars (TV series)|The Caesars]]'', Tiberius (by [[AndrΓ© Morell]]) is the central character for much of the series and is portrayed in a much more balanced way than in ''I, Claudius''. * He also appears as a minor character in the 2006 film [[The Inquiry (2006 film)|''The Inquiry'']], in which he is played by [[Max von Sydow]]. In addition, Tiberius has prominent roles in ''[[Ben-Hur (1959 film)|Ben-Hur]]'' (played by [[George Relph]] in his last starring role),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/character/ch0017920/ |title=Emperor Tiberius Caesar (Character) |publisher=Imdb.com |access-date=2008-09-20}}</ref> and in ''[[A.D. (miniseries)|A.D.]]'' (played by [[James Mason]]). * He was featured in ''[[The Robe (film)|The Robe]]'' (1953), played by [[Ernest Thesiger]]. * He was featured in the 1979 film [[Caligula (film)|''Caligula'']], portrayed by [[Peter O'Toole]]. * He was an important character in [[Taylor Caldwell]]'s 1958 novel, ''[[Dear and Glorious Physician]]'', a biography of St [[Luke the Evangelist]], author of the third canonical Gospel. * He was played by [[Kenneth Cranham]] in the 2015 TV series ''[[A.D. The Bible Continues]].'' * In the TV series ''[[Roman Empire (TV series)|Roman Empire]]'', Tiberius was portrayed by Craig Walsh-Wrightson. In the 2021 TV series ''[[Domina (TV series)|Domina]]'', he was played by [[Earl Cave]]. * The theft of the Gold Tiberius, an unintentionally unique commemorative coin commissioned by Tiberius which is stated to have achieved legendary status in the centuries hence, from a mysterious triad of occultists drives the plot of the framing story in [[Arthur Machen]]'s 1895 novel ''[[The Three Impostors]]''.
