Wow, Rome's Most (Allegedly) Debauched Ruler Looks Just Like Joffrey
On the left, the Emperor Caligula, one of the most famous - and notorious - rulers of ancient Rome. On the right, Jack Gleeson as Joffrey in the Game of Thrones TV series.
your image isn't showing .....and little boots does not like that.
That's one of those things that gets perpetuated because "it's the sort of thing Caligula would do", but there's no actual evidence or record that confirms it. It's just the sort of thing people like to believe about insane emperors of old. Xerxes, on the other hand, did order the sea to be flogged and chained for its insolence.*pic*
