Surviving sources present a number of stories about Caligula that illustrate cruelty and insanity.

The contemporaneous sources, Philo of Alexandria and Seneca the Younger, describe an insane emperor who was self-absorbed, angry, killed on a whim, and who indulged in too much spending and sex.He is accused of sleeping with other men's wives and bragging about it, killing for mere amusement, purposely wasting money on his bridge, causing starvation, and wanting a statue of himself erected in the Temple of Jerusalem for his worship.

While repeating the earlier stories, the later sources of Suetonius and Cassius Dio add additional tales of insanity. They accuse Caligula of incest with his sisters, Agrippina, Drusilla and Julia Livilla, and say he prostituted them to other men.They state he sent troops on illogical military exercises.They also allege he turned the palace into a brothel.Perhaps most famously, they say that Caligula tried to make his horse, Incitatus, a consul and a priest.

  • CALIGULA! Dance for me..delight me.

  • In all this game, the devil is losing and at the end will be accused of everything because GOD don’t want any rivals. Conclusion: live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form, following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and limited power of devil because he is just a temporary puppet. Jesus Christ is the savior and hope.

  • @rotwfighter lol

    

  • @Kathrinoyo Vielen Dank, Herr Professor. Didn't know that

  • @esrapk reading your argument, sister: it won't get you anywhere with this behaviour. Be lesbian and arrange yourself with the fact that everybody is different ;)
