Caligula, the third Roman Emperor, was assassinated in 41 AD by members of his own Praetorian Guard and other conspirators, including senators and courtiers. The assassination was likely motivated by his increasingly erratic and tyrannical behavior, which alienated many within the Roman elite.

disagree with me, castigate me, but casting the vote of 8 as "caving" perpetuates the tactical "back and forth." Embrace the long arrow of history that points towards emancipation and justice.. 16 million hungry children is a moral high ground.
