Happy Birthday, Caligula

He would have been 2008 years old today. One of the most noteworthy of the Roman emperors.

BTW, 8/31 is also the birthday of Emperor/Gladiator Commodus as well, who was also assassinated.

For most of his youth, Caligula’s great-grandmother Livia shielded him from politics—but a sudden tragedy changed all of that.Tiberius’s son died, perhaps murdered by a political rival. Either way, Tiberius suddenly had no heir. In 31 AD, he summoned Caligula to his pleasure island of Capri and adopted the boy.
