Previous chapter
He added to the enormity of his crimes by the brutality of his language. He used to say that there was nothing in his own character which he admired and approved more highly than what he called his lasting power, that is, his shameless impudence [a sexual innuendo]. When his grandmother Antonia gave him some advice, he was not satisfied merely not to listen but replied: Remember that I have the right to do anything to anybody. When he was on the point of killing his brother [Note 1], and suspected that he had taken drugs as a precaution against poison, he cried: What! an antidote against Caesar? After banishing his sisters, he made the threat that he not only had islands, but swords as well. An ex-praetor who had retired to Anticyra for his health, sent frequent requests for an extension of his leave, but Caligula had him put to death, adding that a man who had not been helped by so long a course of hellebore needed to be bled. On signing the list of prisoners who were to be put to death later, he said that he was clearing his accounts. Having condemned several Gauls and Greeks to death in a body, he boasted that he had subdued Gallograecia.

Event: Caligula as a monster

Immanissima facta augebat atrocitate uerborum. Nihil magis in natura sua laudare se ac probare dicebat quam, ut ipsius uerbo utar, adiatrepsian, hoc est inuerecundiam. Monenti Antoniae auiae tamquam parum esset non oboedire: "memento," ait, "omnia mihi et [in] omnis licere." Trucidaturus fratrem, quem metu uenenorum praemuniri medicamentis suspicabatur: "antidotum," inquit, "aduersus Caesarem?" Relegatis sororibus non solum insulas habere se, sed etiam gladios minabatur. Praetorium uirum ex secessu Anticyrae, quam ualitudinis causa petierat, propagari sibi commeatum saepius desiderantem cum mandasset interimi, adiecit necessariam esse sanguinis missionem, cui tam diu non prodesset elleborum. Decimo quoque die numerum puniendorum ex custodia subscribens rationem se purgare dicebat. Gallis Graecisque aliquot uno tempore condemnatis gloriabatur Gallograeciam se subegisse.
