Caligula was Rome's beloved Ceasar, benevolent and wise in his long reign over the empire. I watched the historical epic film about Caligula's rise to power. It was an excellent family flick, but I found it somewhat bland and wish it would've left less to the imagination. Nonetheless, I think it is a good way to show the kids what life was like in ancient Rome before violence and and sexual perversion took over our culture.
