Most of Caligula's family was murdered by his uncle, who then took him under his wing and forced upon him his own abhorrent depravities. It's hard not to come away from a childhood like that without being a bit scared.

It's a bit more complicated than that. Tiberius debauched behaviour is an inconsistent rumor whose veracity cannot be assessed. Aside from that, no ancient source suggests Gaius was part of it. The punishment of Gaius' family, as cruel it was, wasn't a mere act of villainy - it was the crude consequence of the social tension that sprouted in the last years of Augustus' reign. The way Gaius' rule turned out is probably mostly the result of the Eastern influence he received since his early childhood from his parents.

Thanks for the documentary

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. If these emperors don't personify that adage, then no one does. The problem was that the Roman Emperors first arose as charismatic military commander-dictators and then devolved into tyrannical evil dictators. Consequently, there were no laws that hemmed in their more destructive tendencies and no established rules for peaceful dynastic succession. Hence, every gov't change was contested and often violent. So when a new emperor achieved power, he needed to hold on to it by increasing his dictatorial powers, if he could. And he needed to satisfy the army, or they would have him assassinated, as so often happened, so it caused the Empire to over-extend itself. Ultimately, I think Rome was foiled by its enormous initial success. Its expansionism gave the military too much power and it corrupted its better institutions. Rome worked better and made more sense politically (and culturally as a classical civilization) when it only controlled Italy and the western Mediterranean basin.

A lot of the histories on these emperors were written by people who hated them in real life, that or people who deposed them. These emperors would've been portrayed worse than they actually were. History is written by the victors, after all. I think their lack of succession laws was their biggest problem (that and the Empire's vast size). Anyone could be Emperor in practice, which meant everyone fought each other for it. Monarchies with hereditary succession laws are the most stable governments it seems.

He probably wasn't all that bad since we know that he seemed to be fairly popular with the common people, much like his name sake, Gaius Julius Caesar who was also said to be very popular with the common people. It's also telling that they were also both quite disliked by otther patricians and senators.

The fact that he was the son of a notable "Republican", Germanicus in an age where Empire was the new zeitgeist, might be a clue. From this perspective, his witness of the Tiberian excesses; the trolling of the Senate by making his horse a Senator; etc could have caused the Establishment to kill him then destroy his reputation. This would end the last of any serious threat to return Rome to a Republic. Long live the Empire!

Caligula: a story of Roman gossip 🤣

Who wasn’t a psychopath back then

If this doesnt address the early Caligula that people loved and his slow progression to madness thanks to unhinged power and lead poisoning, I'm skipping it entirely. Successful propaganda decades after his death to make people not remember or focus at all on what an emperor was capable of (early Caligula) and harp on what he was (negatively) capable of. The political context of the following decades makes me truly question even how much of the bad was true. If your adoptive father was a man out of control who promised you a bright future or otherwise a terrible life likely to end early, wouldnt you yearn to be beyond him so you can be allowed to be yourself? as it is human nature regardless of era? Likely Tiberius taught Gaius how to be him, Gaius saw Tiberius' death as the start of his own persona, and upon raising to power and dealing with what must have been a really toxic and dangerous social environment for people on his position, likely pivoted back to the toxicity he knew. Comments like Gaius sassily saying "I trust my horse more than you people" then turned by others who lived decades after his death into "oh he actually slept with his horse. Can we assume he fucked his horse? Yeah lets just roll with that"... i mean, look at the guy's face in 17:15 .... a snap of how gossip makes peoples dicks hard even to this day, are we truly to believe everything verbatim? Especially when it was written by political adversaries decades after the mans death? Then again, why would this media settle for less than 360º scandal, it's what gets and retains the views.

People with so much power, fame, and fortune eventually become demoniac. Caligula is a small demon compared to demons mentioned in the Vedas.

I don’t know if he was a psychopath or not, but he was clearly insane even by Roman Emperor standards.

This narration is very good in the most evil way, but no bueno. From the story of Tiberius taking Caligula out on his boat and the nibbling of "fishes" - THAT LOOK from the narrator for 1 brief second is decadence personified. It is disturbing. This story is quite chilling. Tiberius was smothered by Caligula as described by the chubby historian at 17:23 and smiles so... inappropriately. I do think there is context to the story - it's history - but it is a tragic story. I don't want to be overly politically correct, but we still should remember the horror and those were human lives and children's lives. People who are evil and child abusers may get the wrong message from this documentary, as engaging and informative as it is. As Voltaire wrote "History never repeats itself - man always does."

Caligula wasn't even his actual name. Caligula means little boot and he HATED that name. Also she said exactly what I just said lol.

None of the emperors were. Like the rest of us they had faults and shortcomings. Vespasian and his son, Titus were two of the better ones. After the destruction of Pompeii, Titus donated large sums from his personal fortune to help survivors. Vespasian did spend on public works. The four worst, IMHO, were Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero.

Love Mary Beards brutally honest account of the classical Roman emperers like Caligula who was the son of Germanicus himself: his own name directly born of (admix of romano-anglo heritage), kind of somewhat truthful yet falsifying of true facts. It must always be remembered that so many Roman armies depended hugely upon neighbouring tribes from the Rhine-Gallica, not just freed slaves of mixed native heritage to steamroll their way to victory in the rest of Eurasia a little later in the time of Constantine the Great. Caligula was nothing exceptional as an emporer, just simply wanting to revolutionize an old republic whatever his sortcomings and responsibilities as a young sometimes misguided general.

THEY all were and still are.

@@whishiwhooshi5783 Nero got married 4 times. 2 men and 2 women and he was the bride the last time. He burned Rome then blamed the Christians. Threw human beings in a cage with lions. All kinds of psychopathic atrocities and that's just one of them. Caligula sodomized his people's wives on their wedding day

The prohibition is not just pork, but basically all scavenger animals. They were meant to clean up dead, dying, excrement. Would you eat a buzzard?

Actually, this is highly debated. He gave slaves the right to sue their masters for mistreatment and instead of singing while Rome burnt, he orchestrated rescue efforts

Nero was an unprepared teenager whose reputation was much maligned after he was usurped.

Yes.

I feel Gaius didn’t like the senate after they tried to replace him when he got sick… Also the population loved him and was disturbed at his assassination… He was almost wiped from the history books thanks to the Roman “damnatio memoriae “ and replaced with his uncle who was worse then him ( nice to the aristocracy thou… ) Was he mad? Yeah that the upper class and they killed him for it and shaming his name… Gaius germanicus is his name not lil boots

Yes. End of video 😂🤣😂🤣

I named a cat TIBERIUS. She was a would be killler!

This woman is wonderfully suited for the search she has undertaken she can read Latin as the Romans wrote it for crying out loud

This is not new they just took a old video and put a new release on it

Emperor Caligula (Emperor Germanius) ::: His claim to fame was that he ordered the killing of Governor Pontius Pilate, who stayed on as Governor for another 6 years after execution of Jesus Christ. Caligula himself was stabbed to death by a secret group of Roman citizens many years later, and well after governor Pilate was executed. Six years after death of Jusus, Caligula had summoned Governor Pilate from Judea to Rome. Caligula had Governor Pontius Pilate tried and executed in Rome for the Judea execution of Jesus Christ, which happened in far away Judea. Governor Pilate stayed on as Governor of Judea (present day Israel) for six more years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. As few more Roman soldiers converted to Christianity day by day, all wasn't well in distant lands such as Judea, for the six years since the execution of Jesus Christ:: . A sizable number of Roman soldiers had already converted to Christianity within 5 years after the death of Jesus Christ (Bless his name). The average Christian of today is peace loving, for the most part. However the early Christians of 37 AD who had converted to Christianity within five years after the death of Jesus, were largely fanatical. A sizable number of early Christians were ordinary Roman soldiers. few Roman legions were demanding in Rome that Governor Pontius Pilate be removed at the very least, from his position as Governor of Judea, which is a Rome appointed job. HE wielded behind the scenes while the king of Judea (king Herod) was a figure-head position or job at the time. Soon after coming to power, King Caligula of the Roman enmpire ordered Governor Pilate to meet with him to apparently discuss with Emperor Caligula the recent rebellion by the Samaritans, another ethnic group which lived at the time in Judea. After reaching Rome. Caligula's soldiers arrested Governor Pontius Pilate, and had him tried for doing nothing to prevent the death of Jesus Christ. Emperor Caligula did this (he had Governor tried for the urder of Jesus Christ) to quell desires of Roman rebellion within his own ranks and within his own armies, a small percentage of which had embraced Christianity within five years after death of Jesus.

Pilate let the Rabbis decide Jesus' fate. That always disturbed me, after all they were Rabbis, but Jesus knew why he was to die on the cross, FOR US!

Thanks John, late here but wanted to say I love your comment. The only good thing Caligula ever did was have Pilate killed. Never knew

I thought Agripinna was Caligulas sister.
