Abstract:

The assassination of Emperor Gaius (Caligula) in January 41 was the prologue to events unprecedented in the history of the Principate. For two days, Rome, seized with the idea of restoring the republic, was under the control of the consuls, the Senate, and the officers of the Praetorian Guard. By the decision of Cassius Chaerea, who was the head of the conspirators, the members of the emperor's family – his widow Caesonia and their daughter – were also killed. The executor of this order was one of the Praetorian officers, Julius Lupus, whom Josephus calls a tribune, but Suetonius calls him a c

Abstract:

One of the most famous allegations made against the emperor Caligula was that he had intended to appoint his favourite horse, Incitatus, as consul. While Suetonius and Cassius Dio both preserve this allegation, neither explains the basis for it, what exactly Caligula had said or done to lead those about him to believe that this is what he had intended to do.

<p>El emperador Calígula exige la vida del plebeyo Publio Afranio Potito corno cumplimiento de una promesa que éste formulara rogando el restablecimiento del princeps. La muerte de Afranio se realiza por medio de un ritual, cuando menos, extraño. A pesar de la poca atención que los estudiosos han prestado a la narración de este ceremonial, que en su planteamiento inicial se asemeja a una devotio, un examen exhaustivo del mismo nos permite dar una nueva luz a aspectos de la religión romana tan controvertidos como la concepción de la culpa como miasma, los rituales de expulsión y los sacri

Abstract:

Abstract Suetonius’ biography of Caligula contains two mentions of the sacrifice of exotic birds: at Cal. 22.3 a range of them are sacrificed to the emperor and at Cal. 57.4 Caligula sacrifices a flamingo. By setting these references within the larger context of Roman sacrifice, this article argues that these sacrifices should be considered perverted acts. They form part of Suetonius’ strategy of depicting Caligula’s religious activities as an aberration. Looking beyond Suetonius’ text, the bird sacrifices prompt wider questions about the nature of the Cult of Caligula and about what constitut

Abstract:

Ancient Roman writers whose work inspired latter-day decadents include the biographer Suetonius (69–122 CE) and the historian Tacitus (56–120 CE), who both wrote about the depraved behavior of Caligula, Nero, Vitellius, and other decadent emperors. Their accounts of outrageous behavior, as well as The Satyricon (an important novel about first-century Rome attributed to Petronius), form the classical model of Roman decadence. Later influential commentators on the fall of Rome were the French moral philosopher Montesquieu (1689–1755) and the British historian Edward Gibbon (1737–1794). Historical novels about ancient Rome by Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880) and Walter Pater (1839–1894) also had a bearing on the development of decadence.
