Summary/Abstract: The paper contains the interpretation of the latest novel by Jacek Bocheński Tyberiusz Cezar (2009), in which the narration is conducted from the perspective of a historian-amateur of the antiquity appearing in the role of a guide of a trip following the route of Tiberius. Such a situation of narration constitutes the starting point of reflections on the motif of journey in the historical novel, the phenomenon of historical tourism as well as the journey into the past understood as a metaphor of historical cognition.
