Caligula was pretty funny, imo

quote:

Caligula considered Chaerea effeminate because of a weak voice and for not being firm with tax collection. Caligula would mock Chaerea with names like "Priapus" and "Venus".

quote:

Once, at some games at which he was presiding, he ordered his guards to throw an entire section of the audience into the arena during the intermission to be eaten by the wild beasts because there were no prisoners to be used and he was bored

quote:

They state he sent troops on illogical military exercises, turned the palace into a brothel, and, most famously, planned or promised to make his horse, Incitatus, a consul, and actually appointed him a priest.

:allears:

What if Caligula was really just a cool guy who liked his women and his pranks?

Then some effeminate voiced senators come along and get all butthurt about his good looks and sexual conquests, kill him, and then write that he was some incest-loving bloodthirsty murder demon.
