          Caligula (Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, 31 August 12 – 24 January 41) was the third Roman Emperor. He reigned from AD 37. After only four years, he was assassinated by members of his bodyguard and the Roman Senate.

          During his reign, many innocent people were killed without fair trials.[1] Even with all that, he was popular with the Roman public in his time.

          Caligula's father Germanicus was the nephew and adoptive son of emperor Tiberius. He was a very successful general. He was one of Rome's most beloved public figures.

          When Germanicus died at Antioch in 19 AD, his mother Agrippina the Elder returned to Rome with her six children.

          She had a bitter feud with Tiberius. That eventually led to the destruction of her family. Caligula was the only male survivor. In 31, he joined the emperor on the island of Capri.
