Two thousand years ago one of history's most notorious individuals was born. Professor Mary Beard embarks on an investigative journey to explore the life and times of Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus - better known to us as Caligula. Caligula has now become known as Rome's most capricious tyrant, and the stories told about him are some of the most extraordinary told about any Roman emperor. Piecing together the evidence, Mary puts Caligula back into the context of his times to reveal an astonishing story of murder, intrigue and dynastic family power. Above all, she explains why Caligula has ended up with such a seemingly irredeemable reputation. In the process, she reveals a more intriguing portrait of not just the monster, but the man.

M. Beard跟里面出现的Wiseman合作编译了约瑟福斯关于卡里古拉之死的内容，跟G. Woolf以及C. Edwards（好气质！）都是老相识了，Hurst的罗马广场考古之前也只是在书上了解到，现在看他在现场演示卡里古拉“廊腰缦回”的宫殿更有感觉。Beard的叙事技巧一仍往常。
一代暴君成长史以及其疑点。Mary Beard果然最适合讲这样的故事，she has a face full of conspiracy...去罗马时因为迷路错过了大浴场，实在太可惜。
这片子里的梗其实蛮多……我去capri的时候天气还有印象都特别美好哈哈，现在无法直视我的记忆了，天呐～～～
刚开始的时候总会把caligula和Nero弄混，现在不会了~~~ 虽然都有个叫Agrippina的娘~~~ 哈~~~
