Who was Caligula?
Caligula was the third Julio-Claudian emperor. He is known for his erratic actions and immaturity. Some say he was mad. Most significant for the empire, though, was that he wa…s the first emperor to be assassinated, the beginning of a dangerous trend in the Praetorian Guard. I believe Caligula was a Roman Emperor who was a complete freak, in every sense of the word. He obtained power by (apparently) murdering his great uncle, he abused his power as emperor for pleasure instead of helping those of the roman empire and he also raped his three sisters. (MORE)

Caligula( so called meaning little boot) was empower for 4 years or so. He was the grandson of livia who was married to empower Augustus. His uncle was claudius who was consid…ered a fool and idiot but who proved to be a good empower when his time came. Caligula was undoubtedly insane, supposedly killing his father but making him thing he was bewitched and provisioning him at the same time. He also supposedly killed Tiberius to become emporer. Once in power he was ruthless and unpredictable. He married his favorite sister, drucilla, and slept with his other sisters as well. When money was needed for the treasury he forced the wives of the senators to work as prostitutes and took a hearty commission off their earnings. He made war on Neptune, bringing shells back as treasury booty, and was known to lop off the heads of any one who complained about his continual games in the colluseaum. After a long, unexplained illness he declared he was a god. The senate did nothing to this announcement, and he continued to behave unpredictably and murder as he felt like it. On learning his sister/wife was pregnant, he enacted the mystery of Zeus and cut the baby from her womb and swallowed it whole. He was eventually killed by members of the senate who has gad enough. He was stabbed and his body abused. His death paved the way for c Laudius to become emporer (MORE)

What is Caligula know for?
Caligula was portrayed as being insane. Some ancient historians claimed that this was down to his personality. Others said that he became insane after an illness that nearly k…illed him. He became paranoid and had close relatives and those he saw as a threat murdered. He came into conflict with the senate, instituted treason trials and had several senators executed. He started claiming that he was a god and appeared in public dressed as various gods. He had various heads of gods removed from statues and replaced with his. He was said that he wanted to be called the New Sun (god). Later Roman writes added further tales of insanity. He they accused him of incest with and prostituting his sisters, of turning his palace into a brothel, of wanting to nominate his horse as a consul and actually appointing him as a priest. The veracity of many of these stories is questionable. There were writers who were hostile to Caligula and in such cases slanderous stories could be made up. It seems that Caligula's reign begun well. He ended the treason trials of his predecessor and recalled exiled people. He repealed some taxes and published the public accounts. He gave financial aid to people affected by fires. He restored elections. He built new roads and started the construction of two aqueducts. (MORE)
