Maybe Caligula was just breaking ground for his presidential library.

Very interesting article - thanks.
"He's been condemned in memory as a lunatic and a really bad emperor."
And that, from his friends.

Make way for the rehabilitation of Caligula.

Hey, you beat me to it. I had planned to say that the title made me think it was about one of the Clintons.

But modern historians have been hard-pressed to believe this and other accounts of the tyrant's despotic excesses, sexual perversity and sadism.
"It's very hard to evaluate all these scurrilous stories," Trimble said. "He's been condemned in memory as a lunatic and a really bad emperor." I can never understand why historians with no actual facts persist in trying to re-write history and call those who recorded it liars.
It is like they honestly believe that people sat around and made things up.
Transference maybe?

Talk about breathing life into a dead story? Any of you really taken aback if Caligula extended his residence to include the sacred shrine? Wow! What hubris! And how shocking coming from the "divine" emperor of the most powerful empire on Earth.
They're working on a new dramatic study "Pharoah may Have Been Rude To Domestic Help."

It's not like he sold nuclear secrets to China for campaign contributions!

The contemporary Jewish philosopher Philo Judaeus left an interesting account of his meeting with Caligula in his Embassy to Gaius.
