Caligula sestertius ancient coin copy
The small boy was born as Gaus Jules Caesar in the year 12 AD in Antium. As the natural son of the emperor Germanicus and Agreppina as well he was the great-grandchild of emperor Augustus. And so history was written: When he was a small boy, he was allowed to accompany his father to the camps at the front. There he won the roman soldiers’ hearts in a trice, so that those made the small man a pair of small soldier boots. Such shoes were called caligae. This word gave the small Gaius his nickname Caligula - small soldier boot. Under that name he gained during his lifetime a conflicting fame.
