  • Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus or Caligula (August 31, 12 – January 24, 41), was the Roman Emperor from 37 til he was murdered by his own guards in 41. He suffered from what many historians now beleive to be a mental illness and was insane. One of his most infamous acts was declaring himself a god. He was a good friend of the Jewish King Herod Agrippa, which lead to peaceful ties between Rome and the Jews, but due to his insanity one of his requests was to have a statue of himself errected to be worshipped in the Temple of Jerusalem.
  • Now, let's get something straight: historians have certainly not been kind to the emperor Caligula (often known by his nickname Gaius Germanicus) and, to be honest, this is largely with good reason. As well as being infuckingsane he killed an enormous number of people and fucked his own sister, both of which are particularly endearing qualities in a leader. But, in this enlightened modern age, is it time to re-assess the mad, murderous sister-fucker? Can anyone reading this honestly say that they wouldn't be tempted to do the same if they had a laurel wreath placed on their head?? Let's look at all the evidence first before we pass judgment.

  • Caligula became ruler of the Roman Empire in 37 CE and three years later he declared himself to be a deity. Soon after he ordered that every temple or place of worship in the Roman Empire make an statue of himself and worship it.

  • Born Gaius Julius Caesar in 12 CE, Caligula was the son of Germanicus (hero of the German campaign) and Agrippina, granddaughter of the Emperor Augustus (her mother was his daughter Julia). The name “Caligula” is actually a nickname meaning “little boots,” derived from the miniature uniform he wore as a child while on campaign with his father.
