Nah, the one who went to an island resort and tormented a stray fisherman (supposedly) was Tiberius. The only one to actually retire, permanently (as Tiberius eventually, reluctantly, returned to Rome) was Diocletian, who died farming cabbages somewhere in the Balkans.
Antoninus Pius died much as he lived - quietly. Got a fever after a dinner at his estate, knew his time was coming, passed imperial affairs to his adoptive sons, gave the bodyguard the password for the night, and died.
Not the only one to retire and go mad stabbing stray fishermen on his island style resort on the taxpayers coin Antoninus Pius?
