Gaius *Caligula" Ceasar, was 29 when he was assassinated. Why do they use such old actors? it makes them seem like they don't know the real history of it all.

Meh, History Channel! Alert, avoid, avoid! Sensationalism and free cocaine ahead! Proceed at your own risk. From a Greek, LMAO!

@spinmonkey4401 You might not realize it, maybe, but there is an inherent fascination with murderers and tyrants in Western academia! Napoleon Bonaparte is a hero in France ( a man who restored the slave trade after it was abolished); Abraham Lincoln is celebrated in the US ( Despite being a vicious racist and a totalitarian mercantilist); Mussolini is a hero in Italy, Hitler ( How many documentary there is about the SS on the internet?)..etc All this fascination stems FROM ROME!

@spinmonkey4401 Even the modern Nations that are now " celebrating" the great Roman empire were all systematically annihilated by the Romans. Case for example being the " Gauls" of today's France. More than 1 millions men, women, and children were murdered by the armies of Julius Ceasar! What is the ratio of 1 millions people 200 bc with today's world's population? I don't even want to know! But Julius Ceasar is celebrated as a " GREAT GENERAL"!

@spinmonkey4401 I am not discounting Rome's history; but I find it interesting that great monsters like Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, and Mussolini all looked up to Rome as a model; and, as a foundation for their "projects." Now, you can say all you want about " classical rome"; but the fact of the matter is that the Roman State did not produce much of value; but stole and plundered its way to dominance.

@TheAfroCapitalist OK, I apologize for the insult but there is no way I could argue with you on your points because the subject matter is way too big and complex to try and do it on YouTube. I'm not saying that there isn't some patina of truths in your comments but you have completely discounted all 1,000 years of classical Rome as a complete farce. We'll just have to agree to disagree on your thesis.

@spinmonkey4401 Dare to argue my point with evidence rather than engaging in nonsensical insults!

@TheAfroCapitalist I don't mean to be rude but you're full of shit.

Rome was built on blood and plundering! Once the centurions could not receive their share of the loot ( in silver and gold) the illusory State was rightfully destroyed from the pages of history. Rome was an aberration for 500 years. It greatest feats was murder, theft, genocides, and disorder. Even its architecture was stolen from Greece, Egypt, and Carthage. It had no sciences, little philosophical thought, and no arts.
