Caligula
By: Kaela Pierce
Childhood
Emperor
After Sickness
After Caligula recovered from his sickness, he was not the same. He began to believe himself divine and began trying to start wars with gods such as Poseidon. he declared war on Poseidon and had his men wade out into the water and stab it randomly. After he "won" this war, he had his men go to the shore to collect seashells to remember the battle.
Caligula loved his horse very much. He built a house for it to live in and was going to make it consul but he died before he could do this. Caligula also had a temporary bridge built so he could ride across it with his horse for two days, he then had it taken down.
He began to have people build alters for him and statues of him. After he died, they took down all statues and tried forget that this man had become emperor. there was a movie made about Caligula's life but it was so bad, it was banned in Canada.
