Sie ist die Frau mit dem vielleicht schlechtesten Leumund in der gesamten römischen Geschichte: Agrippina, Schwester, Ehefrau und Mutter berüchtigter römischer Kaiser wie Caligula und Nero. Weil sie zielgerichtet selbst nach Macht strebte, wurde sie von den Zeitgenossen als Monster dargestellt. Von Imogen Rhia Herrad (BR 2019)

Can you be scandalized by a 2000-year-old book? I think I was with Suetonius' Lives of the Caesars, a gripping, gossipy account of the first twelve Roman emperors, from Julius Caesar to Domitian. Written around 120 AD, Suetonius' work (part of The Honest Broker's “Humanities in 52 Weeks” list) blends history with salacious details, offering a vivid, if dark, portrait of power, excess, and moral decline. It's not exactly light beach reading but proved endlessly fascinating for its unapologetic dive into the personal lives of Rome's rulers.Suetonius, born around 70 AD to a Roman knight family, organizes the book into twelve biographies, which I've listed here for easy reference:Julius CaesarAugustusTiberiusCaligulaClaudiusNeroGalbaOthoVitelliusVespasianTitusDomitian. Notably, Galba, Otho, and Vitellius, from the chaotic years of 68-69 AD, were barely recognized as emperors. Each biography sketches the ruler's family background, reign, military campaigns, and personal habits, with Suetonius excelling in the juicy details of their excesses. His vivid prose, like describing Caligula as transitioning from “emperor” to “monster,” reveals the depravity of unchecked power—think murders, incest, and shocking debauchery.The book's strength lies in its storytelling, but its darkness—wanton death, sexual depravity, and a lack of heroism—can be exhausting. The Roman people's hope for better rulers is repeatedly dashed, as seen when Caligula's assassination leads to Claudius, another cruel leader. The complex web of intermarriage and adoptions among the Julio-Claudians is dizzying, with family trees barely helping. Economically, Suetonius notes rising “value” in Roman real estate under Julius Caesar, missing that this was inflation driven by reckless state spending, a recurring issue that strained the empire and its people.Suetonius' perspective, shaped by living through Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian's reigns, adds depth, though his distance from earlier emperors allows for embellishment. This week's music was Mozart's symphonies 39-41, sweetness and light compared to Rome's darkness. This is a year-long challenge!

This week, we're diving toga-first into the life and utter chaos of Caligula—the Roman emperor who ruled for just four years and made every single second a full-blown historical fever dream. From horse palaces and floating orgy boats to stabbing Poseidon and bullying his own guards, Caligula redefined what it meant to rule like a god (or at least think he was one). But was he really mad… or just the ultimate troll in a laurel wreath? This is Roman history at its weirdest—and honestly, its most fun. ⏱️ What You'll Hear 00:02:00 – Who was Caligula really? And why did soldiers call him “Little Boots”? 00:06:00 – Roman power struggles, poisoned dads, and childhood trauma 00:08:00 – The golden-boy emperor everyone loved… until he got sick 00:11:00 – Enter: the villain era. Tormenting senators, gladiator cosplay, and birthday revenge 00:13:00 – Floating bridges, floating orgies, and Mussolini's wild archaeological discovery 00:17:00 – Declaring war on the ocean and forcing soldiers to collect seashells 00:20:00 – The assassination that changed Roman history—and why the public still loved him

Sorry this episode is a little late. Intro/Alto music by Tiffany Roman.

Calígula reinó menos de cuatro años, pero, aun así, se le recuerda como el más depravado de todos los emperadores de Roma. El programa desmonta el mito de su locura y apunta a un trastorno de personalidad, provocado por la combinación perfecta de un trauma infantil, un mentor perverso y un envenenamiento crónico. Probablemente, la culpa no fue del todo suya, pero aun así no es la persona a la que querrías encontrarte en un callejón oscuro. Gracias a nuevos hallazgos arqueológicos podremos visitar por primera vez el lugar en el que tuvo lugar su sangrienta muerte.

He's not as well known as the likes of Nero or Caligula, but when it comes to outrageously behaved Roman Emperors, Elagabalus who ruled for four years from 218 to 222, is right up.

In this episode of History 102, 'WhatIfAltHist' creator Rudyard Lynch and co-host Austin Padgett discuss the Pax Romana—a 200-year period of Mediterranean peace from Emperor Augustus to Marcus Aurelius. They explore Rome's governance evolution, imperial degeneracy, cultural transitions, technological stagnation, and Christianity's rise. The conversation examines Rome's remarkable longevity while drawing parallels to modern empires and cyclical historical patterns. --

(01:31) Trump na 100 dagen: volgens hemzelf weergaloos, volgens critici chaotisch. Filosoof Henri van Nispen ziet parallellen met de Romeinse keizer Caligula en diens ‘adhocratie'. Maar wat is een 'adhocraat' en hoe spiegelt Trumps ogenschijnlijke onvoorspelbaarheid zich in het leven van de wrede keizer?  (16:51) In 1941 werd midden in een Amsterdamse school een muur opgetrokken. Joodse leerlingen kregen voortaan aan de achterkant les. Andere leerlingen kwamen in opstand en richten een kinderverzetsgroep op. Mirjam Elias schreef er het jeugdboek 'Het verlaten hotel' over en maakte aanvullend lesmateriaal. Elias is te gast. (29:14) De column van Sana Valiulina.  (33:22) 'De ondergedoken camera', zo heet het netwerk van fotografen dat in het geniep de laatste bezettingsmaanden vastlegde. Hun beelden bepaalden ons beeld van WOII in Nederland. Hoe ze werkten, bleef onbekend — tot nu, dankzij het boek 'De ondergedoken camera'. De auteurs Erik Somers en René Kok vertellen.   Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/ovt/luister/afleveringen/2025/04-05-2025.html#  (https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/ovt/luister/afleveringen/2025/04-05-2025.html)

Afgelopen dinsdag beleefde Trump de befaamde 100 dagen, het moment waarop iedere president wordt afgerekend op zijn prestaties. Die waren volgens Trump zelf weergaloos. Maar in de commentaren was ook een ander geluid te horen: chaos tekende de eerste dagen van zijn beleid, zo was in serieuze kranten te lezen. En juist die chaos is typerend voor Trump, net als het in de eerste eeuw na Chr. kenmerkend was voor Caligula. Zo meent filosoof en sociaal antropoloog Henri van Nispen, die onlangs promoveerde op de adhocratie oftewel de politieke stijl van de Romeinse keizer. Maar wat is een adhocraat en in hoeverre spiegelt de ogenschijnlijk onvoorspelbare handel en wandel van Trump zich in het leven van de even beruchte als wrede keizer? Oftewel: kunnen we door Caligula te analyseren Trump beter begrijpen? Van Nispen is te gast.

Epouse de Claude, sœur de Caligula, mère de Néron... Agrippine est prête à tout pour voir son fils régner sur l'Empire romain. Elle manie les complots comme elle respire et gouverne à travers les hommes qu'elle manipule. Mais, ivre de pouvoir, elle déchainera la fureur de son fils.

Quand on pense à Caligula, on imagine un empereur dément, livré à toutes les extravagances sexuelles, organisant d'interminables banquets de débauche. Son nom est devenu synonyme d'orgie, de folie, de décadence. Mais cette image est-elle historiquement fondée, ou relève-t-elle en partie du fantasme collectif ?Caligula, né Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, accède au trône impérial en l'an 37 après J.-C., à seulement 24 ans. D'abord très populaire, son règne vire rapidement au cauchemar. Peu après son arrivée au pouvoir, il contracte une grave maladie. À partir de ce moment-là, selon plusieurs sources, son comportement devient instable, imprévisible, parfois même cruel.Il est probable que Caligula ait souffert de troubles mentaux, peut-être liés à une encéphalite ou une forme sévère d'épilepsie. Ce dérèglement aurait pu exacerber des comportements extrêmes : impulsivité, violences, dérives sexuelles… Les historiens modernes s'interrogent sur l'origine médicale de sa conduite. Dans ce contexte, ses excès sexuels — réels ou exagérés — pourraient relever de troubles psychiques autant que d'une volonté de dominer ou de choquer.Les orgies romaines, au sens où on l'entend aujourd'hui — des fêtes sexuelles débridées —, sont souvent exagérées par les sources anciennes, notamment Suétone et Dion Cassius, deux historiens aux récits très colorés… mais aussi très critiques envers les empereurs qu'ils dépeignent, surtout ceux qui ont été renversés ou assassinés.Dans le cas de Caligula, ces auteurs rapportent qu'il aurait :Transformé son palais en maison de plaisir,Commis l'inceste avec ses sœurs, en particulier Drusilla,Forcé les femmes de sénateurs à coucher avec lui,Organisé des banquets mêlant vin, nourriture et orgies sexuelles.Mais attention : ces récits relèvent en partie de ce qu'on appelle la « légende noire » impériale. Après son assassinat en 41, à peine quatre ans après son accession au trône, son image est volontairement salie pour justifier son élimination et la transition de pouvoir. Décrire un empereur comme un monstre sexuel et politique permet de rassurer l'opinion romaine… et de mieux valoriser son successeur.Ce portrait sulfureux sera entretenu pendant des siècles. Littérature, théâtre et surtout cinéma — comme le film controversé Caligula (1979) — renforcent cette image d'un tyran obsédé par la chair. Mais derrière cette figure mythifiée, la réalité historique est sans doute plus nuancée.Caligula fascine encore parce qu'il incarne la frontière fragile entre pouvoir absolu, folie et fantasme collectif.

In this episode of the Ancient Warfare Podcast, Marc De Santis talks to historian and author Lindsay Powell about his latest book, Tiberius: The Reluctant Emperor, published by Pen and Sword. Often overshadowed by his predecessor Augustus and his notorious successor Caligula, Tiberius is one of Rome's most enigmatic emperors. Lindsay delves into the life and reign of this complex figure—his military career, political challenges, and strained relationships within the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Was Tiberius truly the brooding recluse history remembers, or have we misunderstood the man who ruled the Roman Empire for over two decades?   Join us on Patron patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast

A mother writes to reddit explaining her daughter no longer wants to spend time with her dad after he refused to take her on a "guys only" fishing trip. Is the daughter really hurt, or is the mother just cheating on her husband? ALSO: We look at Teamsters president Sean O'Brien's recent comments about Right to Work and his support for a labor secretary who defends the anti-union policy. What are teamsters getting out of O'Brien's support for this labor secretary? Is it worth legitimizing the right wing administration? We dredge the depths of Teamster and UPS facebook groups to gauge rank and file reaction to O'Brien's budding relationship with the reactionary forces in Trump's camp and uncover some not-so-convincing arguments for RTW from union members themselves.

The dark reputations of these emperors owe a great deal to the Roman writer Suetonius, whose 121 AD work Lives of the Caesars offered intimate portraits of 12 rulers of Rome – from Julius Caesar to Domitian. The popular historian and podcaster Tom Holland has just produced a new translation of the Lives and he speaks to Rob Attar about the profound influence of Suetonius' work – and whether it's an example of ancient fake news. (Ad) Tom Holland is the translator of The Lives of the Caesars (Penguin, 2025).

Following the bloody assassination of the twenty-eight year old Emperor Caligula, Rome found herself without a leader. Who then should fill the enormous power vacuum left by the death of an emperor? Should Rome return to a Republic? Then, one overlooked candidate - a scion of the hallowed family of Augustus long lurking in the wings of imperial power - unexpectedly rose to the fore: Claudius, Caligula's uncle. Famed as a drooling idiot all his life, Claudius' apparent shortcomings had kept him safe from the ruthless ambitions of his family and enemies. But his life of anonymity would now be brought to an abrupt end, with a shocking coup led by the Praetorian Guard. The Praetorians, one of the most potent forces in Rome, feared the loss of the emperor's patronage, and so pulled him out from the curtain behind which he had been hiding, carried him to their camp, and declared him emperor. The reign that ensued - described in gory, glistening, salacious detail by the Roman historian Suetonius - would see Claudius dismantle his mask of imbecility to reveal himself clever and studious, but easily duped by his advisors, freemen, and wives alike. It would see him claim the conquest of Britain, increase the strength of the Roman army, fall foul of the senate, play cuckold in one of the most famous sexual scandals of all time, and marry his niece. All the while, the shadows of Nero's rise to supreme power were lengthening… Join Tom and Dominic for the mighty conclusion of their journey through the lives of Rome's first Caesars, as described in rich, technicolour by Suetonius, climaxing with the epic reign of Rome's most unexpected emperor: Claudius.

"Enough of the Princeps, what remains to be described, is the monster..." The Roman emperor Caligula endures as one of the most notorious figures in not only Roman history, but the history of the world. Famed as a byword for sexual degeneracy, cruelty and corruption, the account of his life written by the Roman historian Suetonius has, above all, enshrined him as such for posterity. Throughout the biography there is a whiff of dark comedy, as Caligula is cast as the ultimate demented caesar, corrupted absolutely by his absolute power and driven into depravity. Born of a sacred and illustrious bloodline to adored parents, his early life - initially so full of promise - was shadowed by tragedy, death, and danger, the members of his family picked off one by one by the emperor Tiberius. Nevertheless, Caligula succeeded, through his own cynical intelligence and cunning manipulation of public spectacle, to launch himself from the status of despised orphan, to that of master of Rome. Yet, before long his seemingly propitious reign, was spiralling into a nightmare of debauchery and terror…. Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss the most notorious emperor in Rome: Caligula, a man said to have slept with his sister, transformed his palace into a brothel, cruelly humiliated senators, and even made his horse into a consul. But what is the truth behind these horrific legends? Was Caligula really more monster than man...?  Pre-order Tom Holland's new translation of 'The Lives of the Caesars' here:  https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/279727/the-lives-of-the-caesars-by-suetonius/9780241186893 _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett + Aaliyah Akude Video Editor: Jack Meek Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

The Roman historian Suetonius' The Lives of the Caesars, written during the early imperial period of the Roman Empire, is a seminal biography covering the biographies of the early emperors of Rome, during two spectacular centuries of Roman history. Delving deep into the personal lives of the caesars and sparing no detail, no matter how prurient, pungent, explicit or salacious, it vividly captures Rome at the peak of her power, and those colourful individuals at the heart of everything. It is an unsettling yet fascinating portrait of the alien and the intimate, that sees some of history's most famous characters revealed as almost modern men, plotting a delicate line between private and public, respectability and suspicion. From the showmanship of Augustus, the first Caesar, and his convoluted family melodramas, to Tiberius, a monster in the historical record famed for his sexual misdeeds, to Caligula, who delighted in voyeuristic moral degeneracy, and the looming shadow of Nero; all will be revealed… Join Tom and Dominic as they launch into Suetonius and the lives of Rome's most infamous emperors, illuminating a world of sex and violence that both venerates, deifies and condemns absolute power. When the curtain is lifted, what deprivation lurks behind the majesty of Rome? And who was the real Suetonius, the man laying it all bare?

SERIES 3 EPISODE 69: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Forget for a moment "Attorney General" Matt Gaetz and the bottom falling out of the market for prosecuting men who have sex with underaged girls. Forget for a moment associating Tulsi Gabbard with the word "Intelligence." Forget the prospect of Press Secretary Sage Steele. Even forget Trump's plan to adjourn both houses of Congress so he can appoint an entire cabinet without a single hearing and the Republicans rushing to bark like seals as the Lame Duck Dictator starts rolling out the Third Reich. The lead story was a different 'third.' “I suspect I won't be running again,” Trump said to his newly elected Republican House slaves, “unless you say ‘he's good, we got to figure something else” and every news organization reported he was joking and kidding and trolling and - spoiler alert - he's NOT. He's NOT kidding. He's intending to stay in office and if we're nice to him he'll let us elect him again. They've been working on this for more than a year: it's a re-interpretation of the 22nd Amendment and the two-term limit, claiming it means three CONSECUTIVE terms, or going around it and getting him by any one of four different backdoors.  That Trump is emboldened enough to go public with his "kidding" tells you how badly he has misread the shock this would create. Oh yes, everyone reported, he's a kidder. He's kidding. Ask Mike Pence how much of a kidder he is. MEANWHILE: Lincoln had his "Team of Rivals." Trump is building his "Team of Trifles." And the key appointment isn't Gaetz or Gabbard or Huckabee or any of these other empty vessels. It's Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense because when the protests against Trump starts and he wants the protestors to face U.S. Army tanks and be shot with your taxpayer bullets, the guy who is just crazy enough to order it is this lunatic Hegseth. B-Block (27:54): POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Jack Smith will get out, and get out a report. Putin continues to turn the screws on Trump. At Mar-a-Lago, Elon Musk is "getting a little big for his britches" (Ozempic time!). Musk is also at war with Steve Bannon. Melania won't live at the White House. And one third of network news viewers voted for Trump so all the limp ABC/CBS/NBC coverage mattered more than we thought. C-Block (40:00): THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Olivia Nuzzi has suddenly backed off all her stalking claims against Ryan Lizza. Wait I'll get my dumpster-sized bag of popcorn. Tim Pool, Pine Cone. And the Idaho Republican who tells a Democrat to go back to where she comes from. You won't believe which minority group she belongs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
