Caligula citáty

Caligula, celým menom Gaius Caesar Caligula alebo Gauis Caesar Augustus Germanicus bol od marca 37 do 24. januára 41 cisárom Rímskej ríše z júliovsko-klaudiovskej dynastie.

Pri nástupe na trón bol medzi obyvateľmi dosť populárny, ale hýrivým životom čoskoro minul všetok Tibériov majetok. Tento majetok nahradzoval konfiškáciami majetku senátorov. Jeho politické metódy sa stávali čoraz výstrednejšími. Zaviedol procesy za velezrady a mnohí ho označovali za blázna. V roku 40 bolo proti nemu zosnované sprisahanie a bol zavraždený príslušníkmi prétoriánskej gardy. Wikipedia

Caligula: Citáty v angličtine

“Would that the Roman people had but one neck!”
Utinam populus Romanus unam cervicem haberet!

As quoted in 'The Twelve Caesars: Gaius Caligula by Suetonius, section 30, as translated by Alexander Thomson.

“Let them hate me, so that they will but fear me.”
Oderint, dum metuant.

Quoted in The Tyrants : 2500 Years of Absolute Power and Corruption (2006), p. 27 London: Quercus Publishing, ISBN 1905204965 , these derive from a statement by Suetonius, included below, in which he states these words were often used by Caligula, but imply that he was quoting the tragedian Accius.
