Caligula never made his horse a senator. It was written that he claimed his horse COULD be a consul because he was as smart as most senators. You have to wonder how "mad" Caligula really was since most of people writing about him were doing it 200-300 years after the fact.

I'm on that side of things. When you study ancient history's mad rulers it's amazing how often the same stories come up caligula and cambyses are almost identical when you properly study their so call decent into madness.

I am fairly certain most of Caligula's stories are him just messing with people

Good rulers don't get assassinated by their bodyguards.

@@TSZatoichi You're putting way too much faith in the moral integrity of hired killers in a setting where political violence was the norm

@@TSZatoichi That's one way to look at it. And another is he was just one of the first in a long line of Emperor's that got on the wrong side of the guard. Not saying he was a good guy, don't know, he never invited me over for a beer, but I have a feeling a lot of stories were exaggerated or just plain made up. It's like Nero, he was pretty popular with the common men but the political/military class decided he had to go and the stories about him were all bad. The whole fiddling while Rome burnt started out from people making fun of Nero being a lyre player and turned into everyone thinks he was standing around strumming while the city burned.

The section on Claudius is extremely similar almost word for word to the Wikipedia article on Claudius. I haven't compared the other sections. AI bot??
