I, Claudius

So, I'm watching the entire I, Claudius series on DVD again, one of the best DVD purchases I ever made. I generally watch it once a year.

I'm at my favorite part of the series when Caligula (played by John Hurt) comes to power. Mr Hurt's performance is brilliant and he manages to convey Caligula's personality as both disturbing and humorous at the same time. If he didn't win an award for this role, he should have.


Orgies?

Was that before or after the orgies?

Hmm, well, one of the things Caligula was infamous for was forcing Senators and their wives to participate in orgies. Doubtless there were orgies before and after Caligula. ;)
