TIBERIO.
--- The Roman Emperor Tiberio was so persistent in his sexual excesses that the historians describe in detail the dermatological and analogous results of his vices.
According to Suetonio, the biographer of the Cesari, Tiberius's face was covered with many minute swellings; while Tacito, the most dramatic of the Roman chroniclers, in a thumbnail sketch of the Emperor, describes him as very gracefu in figure, but bowed, bald-headed, his face disfigured with ulcers and in general covered with medicated ointments.
