Specificatii
The infamous emperor Caligula ruled Rome from A.D. 37 to 41 as a
tyrant who ultimately became a monster. An exceptionally smart and
cruelly witty man, Caligula made his contemporaries worship him as
a god. He drank pearls dissolved in vinegar and ate food covered in
gold leaf. He forced men and women of high rank to have sex with
him, turned part of his palace into a brothel, and committed incest
with his sisters. He wanted to make his horse a consul. Torture and
executions were the order of the day. Both modern and ancient
interpretations have concluded from this alleged evidence that
Caligula was insane. But was he? This biography tells a different
story of the well-known emperor. In a deft account written for a
general audience, Aloys Winterling opens a new perspective on the
man and his times. Basing Caligula on a thorough new assessment of
the ancient sources, he sets the emperor's story into the context
of the political system and the changing relations between the
senate and the emperor during Caligula's time and finds a new
rationality explaining his notorious brutality.
