Actually I like that aspect. So many modern movies use all this new AI to make it look spectacularly real and it still doesn’t.

These old film producers essentially decided the audience would know they couldn’t recreate such scenes to perfection and instead concentrated on characters, plot and acting with wonderful results.

Proof? Watch any modern day marvel or Disney (or others) and watch these just awful movies with great special effects and WOKE messaging BTW.

But at least he did not name his horse a Consul, only bragged that he could.

Caligula may have threatened to make his horse a Senator, but it took the U.S. to do that, and even then we only use part of the horses.

The very wealthy in Rome drank from containers made of glass. The glass making process used lead.

Considering he was just in his 20s, “Little Boots” could well have been developing schizophrenia which would explain his descent into madness.

Could be, or he’d been terrorized for most of his life by his predecessor and great-uncle.
