Who was Emperor Caligula , who killed him , ( Roman Empire)

● Caligula was the third emperor of the Roman empire. He was born on August 31, 12 AD in Antium, Italy (known now as Anzio, Italy). His parents were Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder , and he was one of six children, with siblings named Nero, Drusus, Agrippina the Younger, Julia Drusilla, and Julia Livilla. Caligula was Rome’s most tyrannical emperor. His reign from 37-41 AD is filled with murder and debauchery. ● As Caligula’s actions became more outrageous, the people of Rome began to hate him, and wished to remove him from power. On January 24, 41 AD, a group of guards attacked Caligula after a sporting event. He was stabbed more than 30 times, and upon his death, he was buried in a shallow grave. Chaerea was said to have been the first to stab Caligula, with others joining in afterwards. The emperor’s wife and daughter were also stabbed and killed.
