Fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

Can anyone recommend a good book about Caligula? I recall that there were not that many first hand accounts, but that there had been a number of contemporary authors who recorded his doings.

Thanks in advance!

"Can anyone recommend a good book about Caligula"

I'm not sure if Caligula has rated a separate biography, but a good starting point would be the chapter on on him in "The Twelve Caesars" by Suetonius.

Keep in mind that a lot of the more sensational 'facts' passed along were vicious gossip circulating at that time, particularly in the case of the Emperor Tiberius.
