16th March 37 AD, Caligula became the third Roman Emperor.
The Romans really hoped they would have a good time after over twenty years of dour, unpopular Tiberius, and it certainly proved to be eventful.
Tumblr media
Here is a statue of Caligula on a horse. Perhaps it is Incitatus, his favourite horse, which, despite what the most popular stories say, was not made a consul. However, Caligula did give the horse lavish stables and its own slaves to take care of him.
