horse and wearing Alexander the Great’s breastplate because an astrologer predicted he had "no more chance of becoming Emperor than of riding a
horse across the Gulf of Baiae".

sister died. Some say she died of loss of blood caused by anal
sex, or that Caligula killed her because he impregnated her with a divine child that threated his power.
