The Madness of Emperor Caligula

In the year 37 CE, Rome welcomed a new emperor who was young, charismatic, and adored by the people. Within months, that same emperor, Caligula, descended into a reign so unhinged, so theatrical, and so violently unpredictable that even Rome, a city used to tyrants, was stunned. This episode explores the wild myths and the documented madness: the war declared on Neptune, the assassination plots, real and imagined, the lavish spectacles, the terror, and the unraveling of a mind with absolute power.     DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A RATING OR A REVIEW!
