Venturing deep into the annals of history, Professor Mary Beard embarks on an engrossing expedition to unravel the life of one of history's most infamous rulers - Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known as Caligula. This investigative journey beckons us into the tumultuous era of a man whose name has become synonymous with unrestrained tyranny and capricious rule. Caligula's legend is steeped in tales so extraordinary they eclipse those of any other Roman emperor. Through an intricate tapestry of historical evidence, Mary weaves Caligula back into the fabric of his times, revealing a twisted tale of murder, subterfuge, and a volatile power dynamic within his own family. All the while, she endeavors to decipher why Caligula's reputation is eternally tarnished. In her quest, she uncovers not just the tyrant in all his monstrous glory, but a portrait of the man behind the monster - a portrayal as fascinating as it is unsettling.
