Wasn't te entire point that the Empire fell because there WAS no imperial bloodline? The only really awsome emporers were the Adopted Emporers, AKA, the Five Good Emporers.

I'd agree completely Euterpe, though I wouldn't use that language, but in ways, I feel sorry for Caligula. He was just completely crazy, and people portray him as a twisted tyrant. He was like Shaka Zulu. Just went off his cracker.

Mike Jones for making something he dared to call music where all he says is his name
"The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done"."

Well, I've always felt that Caligula is greatly misunderstood. Yes, he did some icky things in his time, however he was greatly insane. In our courts today, he'd probably be ruled as criminally insane, I think.

Caligula. we all know why. That's what you get for keeping clean pipes in the Roman world.
