Caligula (Gaius)

Short answer, no

Long answer? Depends on who you ask. He spent a lot on games (the people loved this), he humiliated the nobility (the people REALLY liked this) and he did not engage in any serious wars

Most of his rages were directed at the titled houses, so the common folk did not really see any negative

Honestly and seriously, he was awful. He blew through the treasury accumulated by skinflint Tiberius, he had no desire to do the day by day administration of the empire and hurt a lot of good people, who may have been able to make Rome a better place

On the plus side, he also ticked off the right people to make sure his reign was short and we (history) had the good fortune that his uncle Claudius was beneath the usually fatal vindictive level of most of his efforts

With the death of Caligula and the bad experience of his rule behind them, many senators considered exchanging rule by dynasty for the return to a republic. While the Senate discussed this possibility, the Praetorian Guard -- an institution of violence -- searched for a credible successor to Caligula. The guardsmen found him in Caligula's uncle, Claudius, the brother of Germanicus and a familiar figure within Augustus' family. Claudius rewarded the Guard with money for their support. Discussions in the Senate about the problems of succession and a republic came to an end, affecting Europe into modern times.

Caligula was a villain. he was an awful roman emporer who killed many people for no reason

you cant say the word goat near caligula or you will be executed for saying it it is true

Caligula appointed his horse Ingatius consul and priest. He fellseriouslyill eightmonths after becoming emperor, recovered, but went mad. Hebecameerratic and cruel. he liked to be addressed as a god. He had peoplepersecutedor murdered without any reason. he was murdered in the fourth year of his rule.

He had 31 children over the course of his life with his multiple wives., but this is a wild rumor. In reality Caligula had only one child, a baby daughter who was killed along with her mother at the time when Caligula was assassinated.

His own guards killed him out of anger.

Caligula did hold Gladiator games, in fact he was one of the most famous emperors to do so. He was also one of few emperors that participated as Gladiators, he also was famous for forcing people of the audience to fight againt other gladiators, animals, or him. Hope this helps. -xxLaxPwnerxx Caligula did hold Gladiator games, in fact he was one of the most famous emperors to do so.

No, definately, they were not friends. They were family!

Then his eccentricities became more murderous. He restored the hated treason trials of his predecessor, executing both rivals and close allies, including the head of the Praetorian Guard, his personal protection squad.

At other times, his cruelty was more random. In one instance, he was about to sacrifice an animal as a sacred offering to the gods. He raised his mallet to kill the animal and brought it down hard. At the last moment, however, he turned and struck a priest standing nearby, who died instantly.

Gaius was a common Roman male name. If the question is asking about Gaius Germanicus, yes, he was nicknamed Caligula as a small child and commonly called that until his death, and beyond, unto the present day.

No. Caligula Gaius was emperor between A.D. 37-41. Jesus was born during the reign of Augustus (27 B.C.- A.D. 14) and conducted His ministry during the reign of Tiberius (A.D. 14-37).

No.

Caligula, or Gaius as was his proper name, was the third Roman emperor. Immature and totally untrained for the job of emperor, some say he went mad, although his sanity situation is being reevaluated today. At any rate he was known for his immaturity and his excesses. He was the first Roman emperor to be assassinated.

No it is not true. Caligula, or "Little Boots" as he was known amongst his troops was not the first Emporer to support Christianity. He was Ceaser for about 4 years. He had totally opposed views to Christianity, for example, he made his sister pregnat and cut the child out of her, no christian would support this! He even made a horse senator!

The first Roman Emperor to support Christianity and even make it the State religion was Constantine I (280-337 A.D.)

Caligula was the third Roman emperor, following Augustus and Tiberius. He reigned from AD 37 to AD 41. His full name was Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus, and he is often remembered for his eccentric and tyrannical rule.

He didn't. Caligula was assassinated and had no choice as to who his successor was to be. Claudius was made emperor by the Praetorian Guard, simply because he was the only member of the imperial family they could find.
