Caligula was Rome's first extremist emperor. After living in fear and repression all his life, when he gained the supreme power he burst out of his shell big time. This resulted in outlandish actions and accusations of insanity. Whether he was insane or simply immature is a matter for debate.
Caligula may have been an immature, spoiled brat, and some think he was insane, but he took care of the Roman people by giving bonuses and entertainments. He secured the borders and had no major invasions during his reign. For all his bad reputation, his government policies were sound. There was no civil unrest during his rule.
Claudius was Caligula's uncle. He was the brother of Caligula's father, Germanicus.
The insane emperor who was murdered by his own bodyguards was Caligula, the third Roman emperor, ruling from AD 37 to 41. Known for his eccentric and tyrannical behavior, Caligula's reign became infamous for cruelty and extravagance, leading to widespread discontent. In AD 41, a conspiracy involving several senators and members of his own guard culminated in his assassination, highlighting the extreme measures taken by those seeking to end his reign of terror.
He was a crazy man. He was ridiculous, outrageous, & he was insane.
When he first came to power, after the death of Tiberius, Caligula was extremely popular. He abolished the treason trials Tiberius had instituted and gave money to the army and populace. However, he soon became ill and the man who recovered from the illness appeared to be completely different. A catalogue of horrors and insane acts followed before his eventual assassination.
Caligula was not known for a strong leadership style. He was an extremely immature, egotistical person who seemed to live for self-indugence, if we can believe the ancient writers. He may have been insane, or his "insanity" was an excuse or a justification for others to get rid of him.
