Emperor Caligula

description Emperor Caligula Overview

Caligula, formally Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, was the third Roman emperor and a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. He succeeded Tiberius in 37 CE and ruled until his assassination in Rome on 24 January 41 CE by conspirators that included officers of the Praetorian Guard. Ancient accounts portray his later rule as marked by violence, extravagance, and arbitrary conduct, although those sources are hostile and make the details difficult to assess.
