Caligula: Paranoia and Brutality in Ancient Rome
Known as Rome’s most capricious tyrant, Caligula, was said to have proclaimed himself a living God before building vast bridges and killing half the Roman elite on a whim. The son of a great military leader, his personal and fiscal excesses led him to be the first Roman emperor to be assassinated. In this film, Mary Beard reveals a more intriguing portrait of not just the monster, but the man.
