Message:: [QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7642770, member: 115909"]I’ll definitely check it out when I get some time. Thanks! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I think there is one huge difference between Caligula & Genghis Khan. The brain fever & coma. Prior to that even with his traumatic past he was a good Emperor. For example: When Tiberius died he wrote in his will that he wanted Caligula & Tiberius’s grandson Gemmelus to rule as co-emperors. Caligula ultimately got Tiberius’s will rendered null & void (with the help of Macro his head of the Praetorian Guard) and claimed the Emperorship for himself. He could have had Gemmelus killed or exiled as a potential threat. That was common among Roman Emperors to eliminate all threats. Instead he named Gemmelus his successor and let him live. For a while.He ultimately killed Gemmelus after the brain fever & coma. That shows a change in thinking & personality. It wasn’t until after the brain fever hit him that things got crazy like naming horses consul and stuff. I wonder how Genghis Khan would’ve come out if he had the same brain fever & coma. Brain damage/illness can cause serious personality changes.[/QUOTE]
