TCP does Roman History: Cassius Dio on Caligula

"He’s at once very conventional and yet also extremely distinctive - Dio repeats all of the standard criticisms we might find of Caligula, but, in this account, he tries to make his horse a priest, not a consul!"

⁠⁠Dr Christopher Burden-Strevens ⁠⁠⁠⁠(University of Kent) and James Renshaw discuss the third Julio-Claudian emperor in this episode.
