If you can stomach Interview With a Vampire you should be able to handle this with no problem.
shareNo problem. The name is old, vernacular Latin for "Little Boots". The movie is about a little Roman boy who was beloved by the Roman soldiers for his dressing up in little (Roman) army boots and playing soldier. Then he grew up to be the most important man in Rome! How can that possibly be scary?
(No vampires included.)
Doesn't this guy bang his horse?
shareY'know... I never watched the whole movie.. Just skimmed a bit and gave up. Historically, there may be a bit of a question whether Caligula just got really bad press, but if you want to read the bad press - Suetonius - The Lives of the 12 Ceasars Vol. 4 - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/6389
I recall that Caligula, somewhere along the line, appointed a favorite horse to the Roman Senate...
That's the one! Incitatus or something. Guess what he had to do to get that senate seat...
