It's amazing that Caligula was only 28 years old when he was assassinated and was in power for only 4 years and yet people still are interested in him.
The Romans were rather male-dominant when it came to the proper place for women in society. Women were in charge of their homestead and the slaves there. But outside the home, it was a man's world. Agrippina the Elder didn't appreciate such societal boundaries. And though she was related to Agustus Caesar, who seems to have admired her quite a bit, even he seems to have warned/exhorted her to 'not speak offensively.' And don't actions also speak louder than words? She involved herself in politics when it was culturally taboo. And nearly 2000 years later, women still are not on equal standing with men in the world's various societies... Though obviously some places far exceed others.
I never saw this, but I did watch the series “I Claudius” which covered the reign of Caligula. Derek Jacobi played Claudius and I think Caligula was played by John Hurt. In either version, Caligula sounded like a crazy man!

There are many versions that try to explain Agrippina's terrible end at the hands of her own son, but we don't know the real reason why Nero decided to kill his mother. The murder was not easy. Agrippina, who was suspicious of the plans of her son and daughter-in-law, took small doses of poison daily to get immunized. Ruled out poisoning as a way to murder his mother, Nero tried to sink the ship in which he was traveling. Agrippina escaped by swimming. Finally, the emperor's mother met her death at her villa in Antium, the very place where she had given birth to the one who was now to become her murderer. A sword ended his life...

Since Caligula means "Little Boots" or "child's boots" of course when he grew up he hated that name and nobody ever called him that to his face. It would be a mortal insult. They called him "Imperator" or "Princeps." His family would have called him "Gaius."

El desprecio de un hijo Agripina pasó de ser esposa de emperador a madre de emperador. Se encontraba en un momento álgido de su poder pero su esplendor duraría muy poco. Son muchas las versiones que intentan explicar el terrible final de Agripina a manos de su propio hijo pero la verdadera razón por la que Nerón decidió asesinar a su madre no la conocemos. El asesinato no resultó fácil. Agripina, quien sospechaba de los planes de su hijo y su nuera, tomaba a diario pequeñas dosis de veneno para conseguir inmunizarse. Descartado el envenenamiento como forma de asesinar a su madre, Nerón intentó hundir el barco en el que viajaba. Agripina escapó a nado.

Dull. John Hurt and Jay Robinson really did outstanding jobs portraying Little Boot. No opinion on Malcom McDowell's version; I haven't seen the movie yet.
Some of the Emperors were detrimental to the Empire but others were constructive ( expanded the Empire, extensive road and building programs, etc). Eventually other factors led to the downfall of Rome. No empire is permanent.
roman civilization lasted for over a thousand years if you examine the history quite closely. from kingdom to republic to empire it was the center of much of the civilized western world for much of its time.
Its early Emperors tended to keep their gaze on Rome, itself, and left the control of the Possessions to the professionals (who tended to be educated slaves) who acted as the adjuncts of the propraetors and proconsuls who occupied the fancy offices.
Caligula was completely the product of grandmother Livia's upbringing. Caligula's parents were respected Roman citizens, his father was a famous military leader who already received the respectful nickname Germanicus during his lifetime. because father and his wife were often on campaigns. Caligula was raised by his grandmother Livia, who was also the wife of Emperor Augustus. Livia quickly discovered that the boy is stubborn, arrogant, jealous and greedy for power, generally suitable material from which to mold a future emperor. And Livia started to shape Калигула был полностью продуктом воспитания бабушки Ливии.

Just remember this isn't actual history. While the character Caligula has been a handy baddie for films about ancient Rome, much of the crazy things he is alleged to have done, were embellishments and slanders by Roman historians written long after his death. The "histories" were written by ex-Senators, who Caligula didn't show proper respect to. So they had an axe to grind in writing about him. The legend that he made his horse a Senator is one. In actuality, Caligula had only remarked once, that his horse would be just as good as any Senator.
The United States is about to undergo the same history as Rome during this period. Caligula had Tiberious murdered so that he could become Emperor...even though Tiberious was failing mentally and would soon be dead Caligula didn't want to wait. After Caligula was assassinated Claudius became Emperor only to be asassinated by Aggrippina so that her son Nero could become Emperor. When Nero was assassinated by the Praetorian Guard in order to end his insane reign, the Roman Army became the authority in determining who became Emperor. Trump will be the equivilent of Claudius...the last good President before the reign of military dictatorship. There were a few good Emperors in the period ending in 476 AD but the decline of the Empire after about 300 AD was steady and led to complete destruction...so it will be with the United States!
Caligula will always be remembered as one of the most evil men who ever lived. But ask yourself; was he made evil by corruption and indulgences or did he go mad after his illness and the death of his sister? This is one of the many questions we'll never have answered.
He had three sisters, and it is a fact that he exiled two of them, Agrippina and Julia Livilla, for conspiring against him; they were only recalled to Rome after his assassination, and their uncle Claudius had been raised to power. Caligula's other sister, Drusilla, his favorite, he seems to have always loved, and bitterly mourned her when she died in the second year of his rule.
@@Heather-xm9ul Agrippina was the only one among the three sisters to have any children mentioned in history (namely her son, who in time became the notorious emperor Nero).
I heartily concur ! Jay Robinson indeed gives the best performance as Caligula in 1953's "The Robe" and its sequel (1954's "Demetrius and the Gladiators").
@@theresagwhite3175 Agreed, and Malcolm McDowell was also effective in the role in the decidedly flawed film production of 'Caligula', which finally limped onto American screens in 1980, some four years after principal photography had wrapped on that troubled project.
It's amazing that Caligula was only 28 years old when he was assassinated and was in power for only 4 years and yet people still are interested in him.
But imagine how long those 4 years felt with such a morbidly sick mind at the helm of Rome?

A production in which Romans speak with British accents, which is perfect amount of cheese).
Remember the first time I watched this but i didn't know I was watching the Master lmao good to know
History is doomed to repeat itself.
Caligula I have angy that i see?Roma
I can't remember which one was the freak and a monster: Nero or Caligula?
Both were
Just remember this isn't actual history. While the character Caligula has been a handy baddie for films about ancient Rome, much of the crazy things he is alleged to have done, were embellishments and slanders by Roman historians written long after his death. The "histories" were written by ex-Senators, who Caligula didn't show proper respect to. So they had an axe to grind in writing about him. The legend that he made his horse a Senator is one. In actuality, Caligula had only remarked once, that his horse would be just as good as any Senator.
Calígula role looks like is made only for stelar actors.
So how did things turn out with Nero
A fair and just punishment....
Caliguia was violent, Nero sadistic
Yeah why me now,just one more thing.Run.Poe
He's like the Roman Empire's version of Homelander 😯
Hell no 💀 Homelander at least cared about some people to an extent. Caligula was a devil incarnate.
The United States is about to undergo the same history as Rome during this period. Caligula had Tiberious murdered so that he could become Emperor...even though Tiberious was failing mentally and would soon be dead Caligula didn't want to wait. After Caligula was assassinated Claudius became Emperor only to be asassinated by Aggrippina so that her son Nero could become Emperor. When Nero was assassinated by the Praetorian Guard in order to end his insane reign, the Roman Army became the authority in determining who became Emperor. Trump will be the equivilent of Claudius...the last good President before the reign of military dictatorship. There were a few good Emperors in the period ending in 476 AD but the decline of the Empire after about 300 AD was steady and led to complete destruction...so it will be with the United States!
Caligula will always be remembered as one of the most evil men who ever lived. But ask yourself; was he made evil by corruption and indulgences or did he go mad after his illness and the death of his sister?
This is one of the many questions we'll never have answered.
Many of the stories around Caligula are now questioned by historians.
One of the best movies ever.
Ответ получил, всё по заслугам.
Caligula = Nero's Uncle/Father
The obedience of Senate is the same today politicians have for Putin.
This wasn't true, he loved his sister, so much so that it was sweet home Alabama.
He had three sisters, and it is a fact that he exiled two of them, Agrippina and Julia Livilla, for conspiring against him; they were only recalled to Rome after his assassination, and their uncle Claudius had been raised to power. Caligula's other sister, Drusilla, his favorite, he seems to have always loved, and bitterly mourned her when she died in the second year of his rule.
Alabama it may have been, but he absolutely did outlaw two of his sisters. Suspicions were that he wasn't really an uncle to their kids.

Agrippina was the only one among the three sisters to have any children mentioned in history (namely her son, who in time became the notorious emperor Nero).
Wow,he was only one man.So was that other monster with that little mustache.
“Whatever it is” 😂
He's good but Jay Robinson is still the best
I heartily concur ! Jay Robinson indeed gives the best performance as Caligula in 1953's "The Robe" and its sequel (1954's "Demetrius and the Gladiators").
John Hurt was also excellent as Caligula in I Claudius.

Agreed, and Malcolm McDowell was also effective in the role in the decidedly flawed film production of 'Caligula', which finally limped onto American screens in 1980, some four years after principal photography had wrapped on that troubled project.
