@_historyunveiled: Caligula – Roman Emperor (12 – 41 AD) Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known in history as Caligula, was the Roman emperor from 37 to 41 AD. 👑 His reign began with great public support and high expectations, but quickly became a symbol of tyranny, eccentricity, and brutality. 😨 Born on August 31, 12 AD, in Antium, he was the son of the famous general Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder. 🏛️ As a child, he wore small soldier boots (caligae) while living with the army, earning him the nickname “Caligula,” or “Little Boot.” 👢 After the death of Emperor Tiberius, Caligula succeeded him as ruler. 📜 At first, he was extremely popular — releasing political prisoners, enacting financial reforms, and gaining favor among the Roman people. 🎉 However, after a severe illness (or possible poisoning), his behavior changed dramatically. ⚠️ Caligula became known for his despotism, paranoia, and theatrical madness. 🎭 He declared himself a living god, demanded worship, and reportedly planned to appoint his horse Incitatus as consul. 🐴 He staged extravagant and bizarre ceremonies, blending religion, performance, and ego. 🕯️ His erratic rule and cruelty created growing resentment among the Roman elite and military. 😠 In 41 AD, after just four years in power, Caligula was assassinated by members of his own bodyguard — the Praetorian Guard, in a plot led by officer Cassius Chaerea. ⚔️ #HistoryTime #historyfacts #ancientrome #caligula #truestory #EduTok

Remember that history is written by the victors. And in ancient times, especially in Rome, the successor did everything he could to disgust the predecessor. And with the horse – he supposedly did it to humiliate the senators and show that even the horse was better than them.
