Rome's Most Beloved Prince Became History's Worst EmperorAdded:
The most beloved prince in Roman history became its most hated emperor. It's 12 AD Germania. A two-year-old boy walks through military camps wearing tiny soldier boots. The legions adore him.
They call him Caligula, little boots. He grows up as their mascot, their perfect future leader. Rome falls in love.
Senators praise him. Citizens cheer his name. When he becomes emperor at 24, the entire empire celebrates. But absolute love means absolute power with no limits. He declares himself a living god. He talks to statues. He makes his horse a console. He executes senators for sport. The beloved little boots was gas Caesar Caligula. What do you think turns beloved leaders into tyrants?
