The Rest Is History
536. Emperors of Rome: Caligula, Incest and Insanity (Part 3)
Tom Holland
And then in October 37, so as you say, eight months after coming to power, Caligula falls ill. And this is a very dangerous moment because this isn't a formal monarchy. There aren't set rules establishing how, you know, when one princeps dies, a new princeps comes to power. And so the moment Caligula falls ill, it looks like he's going to die.
