no one pretended to be kiga after he died kiga was only a noble moderate and popular Emperor but only for the first seven months of his Reign before falling ill after falling ill in late 37 sources describe him as vicious cruel and depraved his extravagance caused a financial crisis and so to raise funds he increased taxation restored the treason Trials of his predecessor tyberius and killed people for the sole purpose of seizing their Estates kaligula believed his enemies should die a slow and painful death he forced families to watch the executions of their children and
loved ones his favorite torture was sawing which started at the crotch and flitted the spinal cord on one instance he had his guards throw an entire section of the audience to be fed to wild beasts in this video I'm going to recreate kigus face to see how he might have looked in real life and talk a little bit about him so if you're new to my channel welcome here on Mortal faces this is what I do and I also entangle family trees lots more on my channel subscribe for more videos and let me know in
the comments who you want to see next let's rewind to the first 7 months kiga was actually loved by the Roman people they did not care that he was sleeping with his sisters which he used as a great Alibi to accuse them of adultery when they tried to assassinate him they didn't care that he hosted giant orgies or feasted on peacocks they loved kiga because he shared the surplus of Roman wealth with the people and not just the aristocracy he cons contributed vast amounts of money to the Roman coliseums to build lavish bathouses and other
institutions including brothel pleasure houses and casinos which the pre-christian Roman population had absolutely no quals about there was one instance where Caligula stood at top a tall structure in one of Rome's poorer districts with a bucket of gold coins which he proceeded to throw down to a crowd of its citizens a few people were trampled in the frenzy but of course nobody blamed the emperor for that Kila gave raises to Roman soldiers and policemen and destroyed his uncle's treason Papers meaning that many Romans who had been falsely accused of treason now had their names and
records for the most part cleared He restored regular Democratic elections and expanded the Empire's borders the people called Kila our star among many other flattering nicknames games and titles so the Roman people loved kugula as he distracted them with games and theater but the Roman senate oh they hated him not only did he strip them of so much power but he mocked and humiliated them even famously appointing his horse to the Senate just to demonstrate how little he thought of them he would also pull many jokes and stunts on them and one of the favorite
examples is when he visited vespasia who was in charge of keeping the streets clean he prematurely assured the emperor that the streets were in satisfactory condition kaligula took vespasian's toga and personally used it as a rag to wipe up muck and manure from several street corners he then publicly humiliated him by presenting him with this filthy toga shouting how does this look clean to you so with stories like that it's no wonder why the Senate saw him as the bane of Rome despite the fact that he was beloved by the people there is also a
theory that a severe illness in the middle of his Reign which almost killed him severely damaged his mental health although considering his extremely messed up childhood that is also very understandable just to give you an example of that messed up childhood his predecessor great uncle Emperor Tiberius finds out that sanis plotted against him so had him killed When the Crowds died down he brought Sis's children to be killed when he got to the youngest the boy knew his fate but the girl didn't she said what did I do wrong why don't you just beat me
like all the other children but no Tiberius turned a blind eye with the expectation that they would die but the girl was a virgin and under law she could not be a subject of capital punishment so the Executioner violated her then both siblings were strangled so Caligula grew up with that man and post recover recovery of his illness seemed to have Unleashed all of that unstableness and he became more mistrustful of others as a result he tried to kill or Exile Those whom he suspected of treachery something he initially promised that he wouldn't do he
would act out and it was noted that in the moments of Rage he would Pace about ranting that he hoped for an earthquake or another disaster to happen during his Reign once jealous of a handsome man he forced him to drink with him after murdering his son son the man had to keep a happy face while accepting gifts beside the emperor and staring at the person who just killed his son else his other children would die but the last straw was when Caligula very stupidly mocked and bullied the head of his petorian guard who was
the guy in charge of protecting him for being feminine he had a feminine voice you see this ended up leading to the emperor's death because it made it very easy for the head of the Guard to be convinced to betray him kaligula was stabbed to death by this man all the while shouting I'm still alive I'm still alive until he was alive no more and that brings us to the end of this video I hope you enjoyed it subscribe for more Recreations each of your subscriptions does help this channel grow to allows me to continue
