There were a host of lousy and terrible Emperors of Rome. But there are 10 who left their mark as the Most Dreadul.
Starting off with the Number one and worst Emperor of All the Romans......is Little Boots. Aka: Caligula. Althought this is debatable as when he first took Power Caligula, was celebrated by all Romans. Even tho there were rumors that he had his second cousin Tiberius killed.
Myself I always thought that Elagabalus was the Worst Atrocity to be given the throne of Rome. But accoring to Historians it is Caligula.
A marble bust of Caligula restored to its original colours. The colours were identified from particles trapped in the marble.
Real name.....Gaius Julius Ceasar Augustus Germanicus. Roman Emperor from 37AD to 41 AD.
“Little Boots” took the throne on the death of his second cousin Tiberias, something of a great Uncle to him. Some say Caligula ordered the head of the Praetorian Guard to smother him with a pillow.Upon his ascension, everyone in the Empire rejoiced. For the first seven months or so, he was loved by all. He paid handsome bonuses to the military, to get them on his side, and recalled many whom Augustus and Tiberias exiled.
For the first two years of his Rule he was deemed a Noble and Moderate ruler. While in power he worked for the Unconstrained Personal Power of the Emperor. During his reign the Empire Annexed the Kindom of Mauretania and made it into a province.
Part one on Caligula.....if any have questions feel free to ask. I am not going to just provide a narration. if any want to look anything up. I am using the basic Wikipedia. Althought I do have other sources. If need be.
Are there any others that disagree concerning history's All time Worst Ruler of Rome? Why.....if so?
