    Caligula was absolutely insane and cruel beyond reason. He made a horse a senator!
    He made himself a god, he erected temples for himself everywhere, he even made the jewish temple for himself(or was that someone else). This of course not to mention the way he had all his relatives killed.
    The bastard even stole Alexander's cuirass. You can only imagine how angry that make me.
