Caligula
Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus, commonly known as Caligula, was a Roman emperor who ruled from AD 37 to AD 41. His reign was marked by extreme extravagance, cruelty, and a disregard for traditional Roman values. Caligula is infamous for his eccentric behavior, including appointing his favorite horse, Incitatus, as a consul and demanding to be worshipped as a god. His rule transformed the Roman Empire from a republic to an autocratic monarchy and ended in his assassination, illustrating the volatile nature of power and the potential consequences of tyranny.
