Caligula

Roman Emperor, known for his madness and cruelty, critic of Seneca's writings.

Core Belief

"He seems to believe in his own divine right and superiority, with little regard for the well-being or opinions of others."

The world exists to serve his desires and whims. He sees himself as above the laws and conventions that govern ordinary mortals.

Erratic, cruel, and arbitrary, representative of the dangers of unchecked power and moral depravity. His judgment is unreliable and driven by whim.

" (About Seneca's writings) “Sand without lime.”"

"(Ordering suppression of Homer, Virgil, and Livy) [Implied through actions]"
