Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was born on April 4th, 121 AD into a high Roman society family. By the age of six, he was brought to the attention of Emperor Hadrian, who immediately foresaw a promising future in him, and took it upon himself to personally train him as an Equestrian and offer him the finest education possible (Bunson 261).

    Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, more commonly known by his childhood nickname “Caligula”, is widely considered as one of the most vilest men to ever live. He is one of the most corrupt and irrational emperors to ever rule, and is representative of what we fear in totalitarian leaders. He literally “went mad with power” and is, to a certain extent, the epitome of evil. In Lives of the Twelve Caesar's Suetonius delves into the life of Caligula, describing both his brief reign as emperor (37-41 AD) and his personal life. It can be gathered from Suetonius' work that Caligula was self-absorbed, indulgent, cruel etc.…
