Life Of Caesar

<p>The invasion of Brittania continues. When Plautius has them nearly finished, he sends for Claudius who turns up to take credit for the final blow. The Senate grant him tons of honours as a result of his victory. But he’s more interested in explaining to Romans how an eclipse works. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/claudius-9-vini-vidi-vici-bitchi/">Claudius #9 Vini Vidi Vici Bitchi</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>In 43 Claudius is consul again. Messalina is setting him up with girls to bang while she’s running sex parties in another part of the palace. Then he invades Britain, finishing the job Julius Caesar started nearly a century earlier. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/claudius-8-invading-britannia/">Claudius #8 – Invading Britannia</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>While the attempted coup was going on, Claudius had troops in Mauretania under the command of Suetonius Paulinus. One of Paulinus’ officers, Gnaeus Hosidius Geta, chases the Moors over the Atlas Mountains and into the desert - where he has to call on foreign gods to save his legions.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/claudius-7-mauretania/">Claudius #7 – Mauretania</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>Claudius was a builder and a visionary. Humble and generous. He liked gladiatorial contests a little too much. But then there was his wife. Valeria Messallina. Like Livia, Messallina often gets blamed for some of the deaths that occurred early in his reign. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/claudius-6-the-revolt/">Claudius #6 – The Revolt</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>When Caligula was assassinated in 41, Claudius hid in a room of the palace called the Hermaeum, and then behind a curtain on a balcony. According to Suetonius, he was discovered by a soldier named Gratus - Gratitude -<br /> who said to his colleagues: "This is a Germanicus; come on, let us choose him for our emperor." But many in the Senate wanted to see him dead and a return to the republic. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/claudius-4-the-good-emperor/">Claudius #4 – The Good Emperor</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>For most of his life, Claudius was the Rosemary Kennedy of the Caesars. Without the ice pick lobotomy. Hidden from the public. If he wasn’t allowed to participate in Roman affairs, he would look elsewhere. He became a historian, writing a ton of books about his family, the Carthaginians, and about Etruscan history. But he wasn't boring. He was a bit of a womaniser, and loved to watch games in the arena, gambling, eating, drinking. Things only started to turn around for him when became Caligula’s co-consul in 37 - but whether or not this was Caligula's little joke is hard to say. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/claudius-2-the-historian/">Claudius #2 – The Historian</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>The first 50 years of Tiberius Claudius Nero's life was a mixture of wealth, power and cruelty. With symptoms similar to cerebral palsy, the young Claudius was called “a monstrosity of a human being, one that Nature began and never finished" - by his own mother. He was kept out of public life and power by his adoptive grandfather, Augustus, and his successor, Tiberius. He was treated as a fool and a joke by his nephew, Caligula. But after Caligula's assassination, he took power by force, becoming Rome's first true IMPERATOR.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/claudius-1-the-monster/">Claudius #1 – The Monster</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>On the last morning of his life, Caligula entered the temporary theatre on the Palatine in a good mood. The conspirators attacked him in a narrow corridor, on his way back to the palace during the lunch break between performances. The lead conspirator, the praetorian guard Chaerea, stabbed Caligula in the neck, shouting "hoc age" - TAKE THAT! Then he was set upon by a crowd of assassins. Then they brutally murdered his wife and child. The assassins searched for Claudius to bump him off too - but he couldn't be found.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-24-hoc-age/">Caligula #24 – Hoc Age</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>The final conspiracy against Caligula involved Cassius Chaerea, an officer of the Praetorian Guard; Callistus, Caligula's wealthy freedman adviser; and the senator Lucius Annius Vinicianus. Over the next three episodes, we'll explore whether or not the conspiracy was about getting rid of Caligula because he was batshit crazy - or because they wanted to restore the Republic.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-22-the-foot-stomp/">Caligula #22 – The Foot Stomp</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>Caligula got back to Rome around May 40 but stayed outside of the city until he could celebrate his ovation on his 28th birthday, 31 August. In the meantime he met with delegations from various parts of the world, including Philo's delegation from Alexandria, and Herod Antipas and his wife, Herodias, from Judaea. Conspiracies against him are everywhere. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-20-hairy-antipasto/">Caligula #20 – Hairy Antipasto</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>Ray recently interviewed Lindsay Powell about Caligula. I asked Ray for show notes. This is what he gave me.</p> <p>"We talked of keeping the sources in context, considering the times they lived it and agenda. He went deep. Then his analysis of the events in the German border and the coast of Britain. And his apparent fickleness, which in a ruler, effects everyone but also how people like Suetonius probably used that."</p> <p>See? That's what I have to work with.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-19-lindsay-powell-on-caligula/">Caligula #19 – Lindsay Powell on Caligula</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>Many historians claim that Caligula’s demand to be treated as a living god is a sure sign of madness. And yet - JESUS claimed the same thing and nobody calls HIM insane. Why does he get special treatment? On this episode, we drill down into the evidence for the claim about Caligula. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-18-living-god/">Caligula #18 – Living God</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>Caligula plans his invasion of Britain. It would have been the first time any Roman solider had been there since Julius Caesar. What motivated his plans? Was he even serious? It's often portrayed as a stupid stunt. But we discover there may be more to it. How did it fit into his German campaign and the conspiracies against him? And how does it factor into Claudius' later invasion? </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-17-brittanicus-germanicus/">Caligula #17 – Brittanicus Germanicus</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>Sometime around the year 40, Caligula executed Ptolemy, the king of Africa Proconsularis and Roman ally. It's usually portrayed as evidence of his insanity and greed - but perhaps there is an alternative explanation. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-16-bless-the-rains/">Caligula #16 – Bless The Rains</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>Caligula suspects a grand conspiracy against his person and the sword falls on a variety of people - including the commander in Gaul, his two surviving sisters and his best friend / lover, Lepidus. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-15-the-conspiracy/">Caligula #15 – The Conspiracy</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>Caligula built a 3-mile long bridge over the Bay of Naples. Why? So he could ride over it to prove someone wrong. Then he marries his third and last wife, Caesonia. Then he fires two consuls for not celebrating his birthday and starts a general purge of governors who are called back to Rome and, in some cases, charged with majestas. There's conspiracy in the air. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-14-the-great-purge/">Caligula #14 – The Great Purge</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>In 39 CE, Caligula walked into the Senate and tore them all a new one. The gloves came off. The nice guy act was over. He criticized them for enabling Sejanus' persecution of his family and for criticizing Tiberius when in fact they urged him on. Then he reinstated majestas. The Senate responded by thanking him and singing his praises. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-13-no-more-mr-nice-guy/">Caligula #13 – No More Mr Nice Guy</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>My inaugural guest is Dr Nathan Brooks PhD from CQUniversity. He's a forensic psychologist with a background in researching psychopaths. He (and a couple of colleagues) have a new book that came out just after mine, called "Corporate Psychopaths". It's an academic book looking at many of the same issues as mine. It was great to speak to him last week and find that we agreed on everything, from the size and importance of the problem, to the causes and the cures.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/the-psychopath-epidemic-01-corporate-psychopathy/">The Psychopath Epidemic 01 – Corporate Psychopathy</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>Caligula's absolute favourite thing in the world, apart from spending money, is screwing. And seriously, who can blame him. It's good to be the king. And, like Ray, he was happy to be a power bottom. He liked horse racing, and was fond of poisoning other team's horses and riders. He liked actors, and was fond of beating people up who interrupted performances in the theatre. I wish we could do that to people who write moronic iTunes reviews. And then, a few months after he became Emperor, Caligula fell seriously ill. It would be the turning point of his reign.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-10-anal-maintenance/">Caligula #10 – “Anal Maintenance”</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>The Nemi ships were two pleasure barges, one larger than the other, built under Caligula at Lake Nemi. Although there were several attempts to recover them from the 15th century onwards, it wasn't until 1929 that Mussolini ordered the whole of Lake Nemi would be drained and they were recovered and housed in a museum. And then the Americans decided to drop bombs on them, and they were destroyed, lost forever.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-9-the-ships-of-nemi/">Caligula #9 – The Ships of Nemi</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>According to Suetonius, Caligula was quite proud of his "adiatrepsia" - shamelessness. He lived in habitual incest with all his sisters and was especially fond of Drusilla. He made her divorce her first husband and marry his friend and lover Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. In 37 he interrupted the wedding of Livia Orestilla so he could marry her himself - and then kicked her to the curb 24 hours later. Then he made Lollia Paulina divorce her husband and marry him - but he tired of her in six months. Then he married Caesonia, "a woman of reckless extravagance and wantonness". Six months into his rule, Caligula fell seriously ill. While he was sick in bed, Macro and Silanus apparently prepared for the worst. They started the wheels in motion for Gemellus to be declared the successor.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-8-shamelessness/">Caligula #8 – Shamelessness</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>One of the other first things Caligula did when he took power was to release Herod Agrippa from jail - King Herod from the New Testament. The grandson of Herod the Great. Which all gives me an excuse to talk about The Maccabean Revolt and a short history on Judaean politics from 169 BCE to Caligula. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-6-the-maccabees/">Caligula #6 – The Maccabees</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>By all accounts, Caligula was extremely popular with the people, as his father, Germanicus, had been. Suetonius reports that Caligula was “the emperor most earnestly desired”. When he entered Rome, the celebrations are said to have gone on for almost three months, and more than 160,000 animals were sacrificed—and eaten. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-5-caligulas-popularity/">Caligula #5 – Caligula’s Popularity</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>We all think we know something of the story of Caligula. We have a picture of him as a destructive monster, an insane sadist. But truth is rarely that simple. Let's take a look at the sources and their individual biases. And let's keep in mind that Caligula was Rome's first true emperor. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-4-monster-or-misunderstood/">Caligula #4 – Monster or Misunderstood?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

<p>We continue and finish our live commentary on the 1979 epic film, CALIGULA. Picking up where we left off last week, Caligula is fisting the married couple and he doesn't even remove his ring. A dark and stormy night leads to night terrors, a super hot threesome between Caligula, his sister and Helen Mirren, a gratuitous but welcome sultry Italian lesbian scene, spinning plates, a Helen Mirren does Madonna dance scene, some torture, a horse in a bed, death, crazy, an orgy on a fake ship, and we close with brains being bashed out on the stairs.

<p>We continue our live commentary on the 1979 epic film, CALIGULA. Picking up where we left off last week, still in Tiberius’ sex palace on Capri, with a lady holding a writhing legless lizard that she is apparently about to place inside her woo-hoo. Around the 18 minute mark of the film. This episode sees the death of Tiberius, the arrest of Macro, a bukake scene, Helen Mirren dancing and doing it doggy style, a possibly historically-inaccurate giant head mower, and Caligula providing a young couple with a wedding present to remember.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com/caligula-2-the-movie-part-2/">Caligula Caesar #2 – The Movie (Part 2)</a> appeared first on <a href="https://lifeofcaesar.com">Life Of The Caesars</a>.</p>

Written by Gore Vidal, directed by Tinto Brass, produced by Bob Guccione, starring Malcolm McDowell, Hellen Mirren, Peter O’Toole, John Gielgud, Teresa Ann Savoy, fucking, sucking, anal fisting, disembowelling, beheading, and more dicks and pussies than you can count.
