[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/NAMABG-Caligula_1.JPG/435px-NAMABG-Caligula_1.JPG[/IMG] See this guy? He banned people from having fun or eating dinner in front of their families, and did many more retardedly funny things. [B]Who Is Caligula? [/B]This guy was the third emperor of Rome, someone who should be respectable and intelligent (at least in the early Imperivm) and leads the empire to greatness right? Well this guy pretty much failed at everything. [B]What Did He Do That Was So Batshit Insane Enough To Make a Thread About It?[/B] First off, he killed his fuckin' dad-in-law and cousin. He first killed off the people that said he would take their life if Caligula (who had suffered a serious illness) recovered, which he did. Those people included his wife (Who was banished) and his father-in-law, Marcus Silanus, and his cousin,Tiberius Gemellus. Second off, he banned laughing, having dinner, or having fun with your family at home. Then, right about when he was going to raid Britannia, he ordered his army to take seashells back to Rome, calling it "Treasures of the Sea". Discuss
How come there wasn't a revolution? Also, the first thing I thought of when reading this was Caligula's Casino.
He's sexy
The name has been stuck in my head for weeks, despite never hearing of him before now. I don't know why.
Sounds like a product of Roman inbreeding. Or maybe he was just dropped on his head.
The Romans were never famous for their stable government.
Caligula is Julius Caesar's adopted son's great grandfather.
Adult swim made a game about this guy
[QUOTE=Predat0r;21725661]Adult swim made a game about this guy[/QUOTE] That's where I heard the name before. Rate this man heart. It was irritating not knowing where I heard it.
[QUOTE=JETFIGHTER5;21725462]How come there wasn't a revolution? Also, the first thing I thought of when reading this was Caligula's Casino.[/QUOTE] I think he was assassinated.
My ancient history class just started talking about him and Nero today. Apparently he loved to torture people slowly, and once when his exotic animals needed food and meat from the butcher was too expensive he fed criminals to the animals. Lots of other crazy stuff.
Seems like all the guys then were batshit crazy.
Peligus the mad from Oblivion? Anyone else see the reference?
thread reminded me of viva caligula on adult swim, the games fun
Was this the same guy who had a fisherman scraped to death with a giant crab shell?
[QUOTE=G71tc4;21726959]Seems like all the guys then were batshit crazy.[/QUOTE] Claudius wasn't actually. Or Augustus or Caesar.
[QUOTE=zombiefreak;21725396]T[b]hen, right about when he was going to raid Britannia, he ordered his army to take seashells back to Rome, calling it "Treasures of the Sea".[/b][/QUOTE] That topped it all off. I could see Kate Beaton making a comic strip out of this.
That post reads like you copied it from Cracked.
[QUOTE=Emperorconor;21727033]Was this the same guy who had a fisherman scraped to death with a giant crab shell?[/QUOTE] I think so.
