re: Caligula was not crazy but was justified in how he ruled Rome.

I’m going with crazy; you did not make a compelling argument to suggest otherwise.

This. Shortly after he took the throne, he became very sick. At the time, the people loved him because of his father and because they hated Tiberius. Even a large group of senators prayed to Jupiter, begging the god to kill them and spare Caligula.

When Caligula recovered, he brought the senators before him and asked them when they were going to do it. Die, that is. The senators were then forced to kill themselves one by one.

Yeah. Super guy.

There are very few surviving first hand accounts of the reign of Caligula.

There are quit a few accounts of his reign, and many things, like the statues he had of himself placed in all of the holy shrines to venerate him as a god, still exist. It's how we know what he looks like.

The ones that we do have make no mention of incest

History makes mention of the fact that his sister served AS HIS QUEEN until her death.

I mean, there aren't any carvings of him actually putting his penis into his sister, but there is far from "no mention" of incest.

And there's plenty of mention of all of the other crazy shite he did.

Yes, there are accounts of his reign. Most notably Tacitus (born 15 years after Caligula's death), Suetonius (born 28 years after), and Cassius Dio (114 years after). All were written many decades after his death.

No, it doesn't. Most of the accusations were based on how Romans held special events at their houses. Caligula showed favor to Drusilla by basically making her a co-host which would normally be reserved for a wife. However, he was a bachelor so it may have been meaningless.

Like I said previously, I'm sure he did some crazy shite. He was a young emperor with power most people couldn't even imagine. I also believe that these oral histories have been used to make him seem even crazier than he was to justify his murder.

Mary Beard shares a similar opinion

What? That’s correct.
