In this book about Rome’s most infamous emperor, expert author, Stephen Dando-Collins chronicles all the palace intrigues and murders that led to Caligula becoming emperor, and details the horrors of his manic reign and the murderous consequences brought about at the hand of his sister Agrippina the Younger, his uncle Claudius and his nephew Nero.

The emperor Caligula was one of the strangest and cruelest rulers that ever lived, and most of what is known about his reign comes from Suetonius. The first six months of his reign appear to have been moderate and successful; but after that, he fell into a spiral of sadism, sexual perversity, and plain insanity that made him one of the most hated tyrants of all time.

La terrible historia de Calígula, el último César de la afamada gens Julia, y sin dudas, el más degenerado. Todo lo tuvo, todo lo quiso, y aún en su condición de César no halló nunca paz para su desatinado corazón. A este lúgubre personaje de la época romana (año 30) debe este audiolibro pues, su razón de ser.
