It's a bad line http://ghettotube.in.net ghetto tube Glimpses of a more popular Caligula emerge in Beard’s film, and hints of the achievements of his reign. But did he really make his horse a consul? Or sleep with his sisters? “What there is evidence for,” says Beard, “what ancient writers like his biographer Suetonius, writing 80 years after his reign, say, is that people said he planned to make his horse a consul, not that he actually did. They say he was very upset when his sister Drusilla died. Then later others say, ‘Ooh, people say his grandmother caught them in bed together.’ So what’s driving this is not necessarily factual accuracy. What’s doing the job is the myth.”
