wish was the third emperor of Rome,
probable lunatic who filed his short

With unspeaaable horrors. His real
aame was Caius Caesar Augustus eGr-
nanicus. His habit of wearing cali

diers among whom he spent his boy
hood to nick name him "Caligula."
Julius Caesar had made Rome ruler
Of tie world. His nephew. Augustus,
had been its first emperor. Augustus
was succeeded by I,berius, a miser
and tyrant. After the murder of I'll
oerills in 81 A. D. young Caligula
great grandson of Augustus) became
emperor. He is generally believed to
have caused Tiberius' death in order
70 clear his own way to the throne.
The beginning Of Coliqula's reign
was all that could be desired. He gave
promise of being an ideal emperor He
!ightened the peoples burdens, forgave
political enemies, set prisoners free
and governed the country so wisely
and znercifully that. when at last he
fell dangerously i'll, all Rome went
into ,dourning.
Unluckily he recovered from the ILL.,
ness. But he came back to health a
wholly different man. The sickness
Is supposed to have crazed him.

was to begin a wholesale slaughter Of
his former friends. When there were
no criminals to throw to the wiid
beasts in the arena he ordered dozens
of innocent spectators hurled to the
lions. He had a set of torture imple-
ments placed in his dining hall so that
he might enjoy watching prisoners tor
tured to death while he ate.
During single year he wasted all of
Tiberius' carefully boarded fortune
