Caligula: A Reassessment of the Reign of Rome's Most Controversial Emperor
This study provides a fresh perspective on Caligula's reign, examining the ancient literary sources that portray him as a depraved tyrant and exploring the reasoning behind his policies.

With a guide to primary and secondary sources, chronology, and detailed glossary, this book offers an invaluable insight into one of Rome's most fascinating emperors.
