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.

  • Lol we can only assume he was 'evil' from one pessimistic (but good) writer called Tacitus.. Other than that there were maybe a few rumors written down nothing more nothing less..

    And Tacitus describes things more aweful thanthey are.. So basically he could be a bad person but not 'THAT' evil..

    That he wanted to name is horse consul = also a rumor // not a fact!

  • @mecca2dope Actually it's Ro- whatever...

  • I think that old bad talking at the end is out her mind!

  • @BubblingSyphilisSund Read Aloys Winterling and you know.

  • @Kathrinoyo Prone to misinformation maybe, but lie? I don't know about all that.

  • He's not evil he's just out of his mind that's all.
