Which Historical Lunatic Are You?

You are Gaius Caesar Germanicus - better known as Caligula! 
Third Emperor of Rome and ruler of one of the most powerful empires of all 
time, your common name means "little boots". Although you only reigned for four 
years, brief even by Roman standards, you still managed to garner a reputation 
as a cruel, extravagant and downright insane despot. Your father died in 
suspicious circumstances, you were not the intended heir, and one of your first 
acts as Emperor was to force the suicide of your father-in-law. Your sister 
Drusilla died that same year; faced with allegations that your relationship with 
her had been incestuous, you responded, bafflingly, by declaring her a god. 
You revived a number of unpopular traditions, including auctions of 
properties left over from public shows. When a senator fell asleep at one such auction, 
you took each of his nods as bids, selling him 13 gladiators for a vast sum. 
You attempted to have your horse, Incitatus, made into a consul and hence one 
of the most powerful figures in Rome. It was granted a marble stable with 
jewels and a staff of servants. At one point you forced your comrade Macro to kill 
himself - in much the same vein as your father-in-law - accusing him of being 
his wife's pimp. You, of course, were having an affair with said wife at the 
time. 
Things went from bad to worse. When supplies of condemned men ran short in 
the circus, you had innocent spectators dragged into the arena with the lions to 
fill their place. You claimed mastery of the sea by walking across a 
three-mile bridge of boats in the Bay of Naples; kissed the necks of your lovers, 
whispering sweet nothings like "This lovely neck will be chopped as soon as I say 
so,"; dallied with your sister's lover and made her pull her unborn child out 
of her womb prematurely. Towards the end of your reign, you had a golden 
statue of yourself made and dressed each day in the same clothes you yourself wore. 
When you eventually died, the terrified people of Rome refused to believe 
that such a cruel reign could ever end, and believed you to be alive for years 
afterwards.
