Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, known as Caligula, meaning 'little boots,' was the fifth emperor of Rome.

It is possible to detect a certain cynical sense of humor in Caligula's acts of madness and tyranny. For example, it is said that he raised his favorite horse [[Incitatus]] to the office of [[consul]], the highest political office in Rome. This act could have been simply madness, but could also have simply been a way of putting the senate in its place.
