I've always loved that horse story. The awful Penthouse movie aside, Caligula is generally not very well covered in film or books. I'd love to read your take on his story.

That reminds me, I just read a novel recently about Caligula, by Scottish author Douglas Jackson, called, unsurprisingly, "Caligula".

There's an interview with the author here:

I think that there would certainly be room for one which focuses on the POV of the women in Caligula's life.

[quote=""michellemoran""]Well, at the risk of getting way ahead of myself, it will probably be about Caligula's reign, which was.. well, filled with debauchery and all around insanity. Probably there was a little less debauchery than was actually reported by his enemies, but there was debauchery nevertheless. He was also said to have tried to make his horse a Consul, which has to count for something in the eccentric department.[/quote]
