Caligula’s Treatment of Roman Women Was Far More Horrific Than History Admits
They called him mad. They called it excess. But what Caligula did to the wives and daughters of Rome's most powerful families was far more calculated than history admits.
In 39 AD, a Roman senator received an invitation to the imperial palace. Attendance was mandatory. He was required to bring his wife. What happened in those banquets wasn't chaos it was a system of control that turned Rome's elite into witnesses of their own humiliation.
Senators watched. Husbands stayed silent. Fathers smiled and poured wine while their daughters were led away. Because in Caligula's Rome, objection wasn't rebellion it was permission to die.
From the accounts of Suetonius and Cassius Dio to the eyewitness testimony of Philo of Alexandria, from palace records documenting attendance to marriage contracts rewritten to include "imperial obligations"—this was institutional terror disguised as imperial privilege.
The Romans called it temporary madness. The sources call it something else: a machine designed to break resistance through humiliation, silence, and complicity.
