It's not copypasta. I typed all that out, just for you. If you'd like something easily digested, look up Dr. Mary Beard.

Each of my claims is based on the actual historical record. This is important!

Wait, no... It's not important. It's something I do to pass the time and amuse myself and, hopefully, you. What I say is largely true. Caligula certainly did a lot wrong, but not nearly like the claims. At least there's no historical record of it. Contemporary accounts show a much nicer and probably mostly sane Caligula. He did fuck the wives of senators and that would be considered rape today, but back then women were property and he had every right to demand use of their property. He did it more or less to keep them in a position where they knew he was boss and still pissed at their incompetence and corruption.

I will not rest until his name is cleared! He's a victim of propaganda!

Gaius Julius Ceaser Augustus Germanicus (Caligula) did nothing wrong!

Maybe. I say the ones that replaced him did a great job of correcting the record.
