At the start of Caligula’s reign at the helm of the Roman Empire, he was described as being beloved by “all in the world, from the rising to the setting son”. The Roman people were so overtly enthusiastic about the death of Tiberius, that they would have likely adored any successor who seemed at the very least to be an ok human being. Caligula particularly also had the advantage of being a son of the treasured Germanicus, and in the early months of his rule, he was fairly mild and cheerful. He portrayed himself as generous, playful, and a lavish spender in a way that also seemed to benefit the public.

What do you think about our video?
Can we get one on Claudius, he's such an underrated ruler and he has such an interesting story
Caligula was a nightmare for the politicians, not the general public. He became quite unpopular due to certain controversial laws he reinstated that were unpopular during Tiberius's reign. He was a promising good emperor in his very first months it was the Game of Thrones that was Roman politics and his tragic upbringing and finally his sudden illness is what led him to be paranoid and drove him mad. These are very understandable circumstances. Calugila pales in comparison to later emperors who were sick depraved lunatics like Caracalla and Honorius.
As such, Praetorian guard got the title of Emperor Maker!
I still giggle at how he declared war on Poseidon and ordered his legions to go to beaches and stab the water, before making them collect seashells as "war booty."
This was scarcely the strangest thing that the mad emperor did, "terrorizing the Senate" and we all know who wrote the history at that time, yes the Senate who always blackmailed Emperors that they hated, Nero for one is a great example on this and nobody can know for sure what really happend but Nero accomplished great deeds and was a good Emperor for along time but everyone remembers him as the tyrant and lunatic incest even going as far as to having his mother assisnated wich was a very serious crime in Roman law, to kill a relative (Incest was even worse). Who is to say that this was not the same with Caligula, yes Iknow the history pretty well about all the Julio-Claudians and their ancestors in the Republican era but it is just a thought.
I love teaching about the Roman Emperors.
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage (video) about both Caligula and Claudius emperors' rules of Roman empire thrones ...events reflected brutalities ,complicated relationships, and opportunistic attitudes amongst closed groups and political elites of Roman empire thrones...
That end shot with the horse. Oh what could have been.
Tiberius’ story is very inspiring because it shows us that in life it doesn’t matter your situation and if you are born to be great you will certainly be great. Amen 🙏
Please make a video about Kingdom of Romania under Fascism.
He sure did have an insane character arc
Whenever a Caesar is crowned, God flips a coin and the world holds its breath.
“Cause all I hear is threats from a brute with no discipline, and I’m ruling over you like a boot full of my citizens!” Julius Caesar
Ahh Emperor Claudius "Such was life for Uncle Claudius." ~Dovahhatty,
Wake up hun a new knowledgia video is out
Actually, when Caligula was ill and many Senators made pledges (especially for the gods to take them instead of the emperor), Caligula demanded that they keep their pledge. No doubt that any Senator afterwards ever offered a pledge like that again!
UNCLE CLAVDIVS FINALY IN THE GAME
Pure definition of die as a hero and live long enough to become the villain
Calligula was totally nuts
