FEATURED BOOK

Walter Signorelli

This is the story of Tiberius Claudius Nero, the step-son of Augustus Caesar, who, despite obstacles and his own reluctance, became the second emperor of Rome. His public life spanned the tumultuous period of transition from the Roman Republic to the Emperorship, and his private life took a series of unusual and surprising turns.

 

He proved himself to be Rome's greatest general of the day, but he had been forced into an unhappy marriage to Augustus' recalcitrant daughter Julia, and he abandoned his duties and moved to the Island of Rhodes, where he studied Greek art and philosophy. Eventually, he had to return to Rome to lead the legions, and when Augustus died, Tiberius became emperor. Again, he left Rome and ruled it from the Island of Capri.

BIOGRAPHY

WPSignorelli

Walter P. Signorelli is an Adjunct Professor of Law and Police Science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York (CUNY), USA, and a practicing criminal defense attorney. Signorelli was a member of the New York City Police Department for more than thirty years. He retired as an Inspector in the Detective Division and had been the commanding officer of precincts in Brooklyn and Manhattan, in the Organized Crime Control Bureau, and in the Narcotics Division. He is a graduate of St. John's University School of Law, cum laude, and the Columbia University Police Management Institute.

 

He is the author of The Constable Has Blundered: The Exclusionary Rule, Crime, and Corruption (2010), The Crisis of Police Liability Lawsuits: Prevention and Management (2006), Criminal Law, Procedure, and Evidence (2011), Rome and America: The Great Republics: What the Fall of the Roman Republic Portends for the United States, (2018), Tiberius Bound (2022), and Criminal Law, Procedure, and Evidence, Second Edition, (2023).

The Constable Has Blundered is a polemic arguing against the exclusionary rule.

The Crisis of Police Liability Lawsuits is a tutorial advising police officers regarding civil lawsuits against them and their departments.

Criminal Law, Procedure, and Evidence provides a complete view of US legal principles. It presents as a cohesive whole the interrelationships between constitutional principles, statutory criminal laws, procedural law, and common law evidentiary doctrines. The fully revised second edition includes discussion questions and hypothetical scenarios to check learning.
 

Rome and America: What the Fall of the Roman Republic Portends for the United States examines the parallels between the two greatest and longest-lasting republics in history. It does not draw the familiar comparison of America to Imperial Rome, which has been done many times, and it does not forecast that our nation will fall as Rome ultimately fell. It is not the Rome of the Emperors but of the Republic that is relevant to our times. The book examines the parallels between the Republics as they were founded, grew, and prospered. It examines their strengths and weaknesses; the environments from which they emerged; the similarities of their constitutional governments; the values and practices they had in common; their military campaigns; and political conflicts.

 

The lives of prominent individuals are highlighted, and parallels are drawn between consequential Romans and their American counterparts. But the book is not a collection of biographies; it examines the political, social, and economic factors that affected both nations; it considers the successes and mistakes of the Romans and their implications for American society.

 

Last, the book questions whether our democratic-republican government will disintegrate as the Roman Republic disintegrated, whether it will grow stronger despite its similarities to the Roman experience, or whether it will transform itself into a system of government akin to Rome’s emperorship.

 

Tiberius Bound is an historical novel about the life of the Second Emperor of Rome, and his scandalous reign
