Caligula was not the first emperor to rule through violence, but he was the first to reap what he sowed.

Whichever version of his assassination you believe, the end result is the same. On January 24, 41 AD, in the midst of the Palatine Games, Caligula was butchered in a passage underneath the Palatine Theatre. Murdered by the men who had sworn to protect him.The conspirators cut Caligula’s genitals off, and to put an end to his Julian bloodline they butchered his wife and infant daughter. His wife, Milonia Caesonia, was hacked to death beside him while his daughter was taken out of sight and dashed against a wall.
