Caligula with Mary Beard Synopsis
What is true and what is false in the hideous stories spread about the controversial figure of the Roman emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (12-41), nicknamed Caligula?

Was he a sadistic tyrant, as Roman historians have told, or perhaps the truth about him was manipulated because of political interests?
