The 15 most notorious rulers and dictators in history of the world (With Pictures)

10. Caligula

Gaius Julius Caesar, commonly known by his nickname “Caligula” (which means “little soldier’s boot”), was a nutcase, although a brain disorder may have been the cause of many of his… eccentricities.

Some examples of his… eccentricities:

-Appointed a horse as a priest

-Spoke to the Moon, or at least tried

-Executed thousands of people, some for no reason other than for his own amusement

-Built a two mile floating bridge (on a dare, naturally)

Not surprisingly, he was assassinated by the Roman senate after he proposed leaving Rome forever and moving to Egypt, where he planned to be worshiped as a living God. If I were a senator at the time, I would have proposed allowing him to do so, just to see how his plan worked out.
