    Caligula is probably the most infamous but Tiberious basically created that monster.

    True.

    Sadly, The modern society is one big Capri for Tiberiuses of the world to breed more Caligulas.

    caligula was the shit, he had hundreds of ships tied together to make a temporary floating bridge so that he could ride across the Bay of Naples on horseback. he nearly bankrupted all of rome, sold armies to sleeping senators, tried to make his favorite horse part of the counsel. made his servants clean the floor with their tongues

    he was like the jim morrison of emperors

    I say Nero... he burnt Rome down. Setting your capital city on fire is a good way to declare yourself a bad emperor in my book.

    And elected his favorite horse to a political office.

    Or was that Caligula. Whatever.

    Nero did not burn rome. The Senators accused him of doing so, to scapegoat him. Nero chose Christians as scapegoats of his own, but he treated them so brutally that his plan actually backfired. Even the most hardened of the executioners were apalled by Nero's sadistic conduct and his popularity as an Emperor declined.

    Yeah yeah I know. But it's more fun to think of crazy Nero running around lighting Roman hay on fire. Still not a nice guy.

    Was it he or Caligula with the iron bull thing?

    I think Vonnegut tells a story about it in one of his prefaces, actually.

    Nero. What other idiot would burn down half of Rome to renovate it after that? He was just plain crazy. And not in a good way.

    Hm... I don't think he was like Jim Morrison. Maybe he was weird like him, but Caligula was kinda sick. He ate human flesh.
