emperor The ruler of an empire. Augustus Ancient Roman emperor whose rule began a long period of prosperity and peace. Pax Romana “Roman Peace”, a time when ancient Rome was prosperous and peaceful. http://rome.mrdonn.org/paxromana.html Caligula Cruel ancient Roman emperor who was assassinated by members of his bodyguard. “ I would like my horse to be a Senator.” “I order the sun to rise in the middle of the night.” By 39 AD it was clear that Caligula suffered from amental illness, which may have been a rare illness called Wilson's Disease, and this made him act weirder and weirder. He seems to have begun to think of himself as a god. Caligula's mental illness took over his life more and more as he got older. Suetonius says Caligula made his horse a priest, ordered the sun to rise in the middle of the night, and forced senators to run alongside his chariot. By the time he was 29 years old, Caligula was so disabled that the people near him thought it was just impossible for him to rule anymore. But there wasn't any way to stop being Emperor except to die, because the Senate had voted Caligula's powers to him for life. So in 41 AD some of Caligula's guards stabbed him to death, and made his uncle Claudius emperor instead. Claudius Ancient Roman emperor after Caligula who tried to improve conditions in the Empire Nero Ancient Roman emperor upon whose death civil war broke out He ordered some of the members of the Senate to kill themselves that they finally took action.
