Caligula was the best emperor and Caesar was overrated.

Don't forget to mention about how society collapses when the public realizes they can vote themselves free crap by electing certain types into office, which causes the fall of the society.
Just like we are doing by electing Obama with the promise of free phones!

Tell them who Cicero blames for the decline of the Roman institutions, and you will be label an antisemite.

Always relax your audience with a joke.

In the waning days of Rome, barbarians stood hungry at the gates. In a futile attempt to appease them, they put one descended from the hordes upon the throne.
History...has proven that strategy unwise.
