CALIGULA The Most Cruel Roman Emperor Ever 

I completely found this movie so not right for me to watch. I can't recall how old I was or where it was that I saw this film but, I do know I was way to young to view it. Just a kid not even a teen. I did find an interest in history because of it. To be honest, the whole role of pointlessness and tyrant along with insanity, hasn't really changed. It's almost like from the age of the Roman tyrants, the ruler is just overthrown or conquered and replaced again and again and again. It's amazing what we as the people will put up with without putting any thought into truly seeing the evil that could be done. For such intelligent beings, we sure are stupid

Helen Mirren as well

I'm glad you liked the video.

Yes but he was not so interesting nor enjoying it so much, little boots had more pleasure than any of the heads of Rome second place Commodus. The fiends that killed these true emperors made grave mistakes and are the worse kind.

read the book about him from author ikka schiavine. he was a cruel emperor but not the worst. in fact he was one of the best. if he had not killed his brother he would have suffered his fate. he was a solid emperor and in 212 his edict gave free roman citizenship in all free men of the empire. just read the book sand u will understand what kind of emperor he was.

@@flaviushonoriusemperorofro3903 Cannot find this book online or any reference to it. Should you share the link, please?

Yes, it does. There have been quite a few "leaders " who were completely corrupt due to the total control they had. Even today, there are men who have total rule over a country. Look at North Korea.

Then you would wind up exactly where he did when he died. Eternal torment.

😂

Untrue, this is by far the most realistic version of Roman emperor life, the pleasure and imperiousness. Little boots was only suffering sin not mad.

@patrickdevries6267 You're mistaken. Nero was tolerated for 17 years, and Caligula for only 4 years. So Caligula was more unbearable. And then there were Tiberius, Domitian, Heliogabalus, Commodus - each worse than the other. They were all finished off, 'cos they were that "good".

@@ArmanLF First read what I wrote and then learn history. Nero was emperor from 54 till 68 and to my mathematis is that 14 and not 17 yrars. And it is not because Caligula was 4 years e mperor that he was more cruel. He was cruel and lunatic, but Nero to my opinion was worse. Nero became emperor by murder, he killed the successor of Claudius named Brittanicus by poisonning. Claudius was killed by the mother of Nero, Agrippina, He killed also his wife Claudia Octavia after divorcing her, because he loved more his maitresse Poppaea . Tiberius came before Caligula, most possible killed by his guard Macro, and Commodius came after Marcus Aurelius; To most historians Nero is the worst of all because he started the first big christian persecution, and that's not by Caligula nor Commodus or whoever, but yeah that's also opinion by opinion.

Its been suggested that certain Christians were involved in starting the Fire of Rome. Any proof ?

Do you know talmudic Jews believe he is the best because he was supposed to have become a prostylite convert to Moses!
