A statue from first-century Pompeii
showing Caligula on horseback.
The emperor’s favourite horse was
called Incitatus, and it was said that
Caligula planned to make it a consul
“Nature produced
Caligula, it was said,
to demonstrate just
how far unlimited
vice can go when
combined with
unlimited power”
