what koman emperor had a name that meant little boot
Born Gaius Julius Caesar in 12 CE, Caligula was the son of Germanicus (hero of the German campaign) and Agrippina, granddaughter of the Emperor Augustus (her mother was his daughter Julia). The name âCaligulaâ is actually a nickname meaning âlittle boots,â derived from the miniature uniform he wore as a child while on campaign with his father. The precocious youth served as the companyâs mascot.
