Caligula (Latin: Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus; 31 August 12 – 24 January 41), born Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus, was the third Emperor of Rome, reigning from 37 until his death.
During his reign, he was supported and influenced by the Templars.[1] Because of this, on 24 January 41, the Roman Assassin Leonius assassinated Caligula with a dagger in an underground corridor beneath Palatine Hill.[2]
Trivia
- In 1503, the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze compared Cesare Borgia - Captain General of the Papal armies and a member of the Templar Order - to Caligula due to their cruel and tyrannical manner of ruling.[3]
- Historically, Caligula was assassinated by three of his Praetorian Guard led by Cassius Chaerea.
- In the Latin language, Caligula means "little boot".
