    In Rome, Caligula made his horse a senator. In America, this happened.

        Scholars argue a lot of things. Though it’s true that a lot of the work of Roman historians is really one faction slandering another. But the behavior of some of the emperors was so grotesquely evil that it’s hard to separate the truth from the lies.
