For centuries scholars have debated whether Caligula, the Roman empire's eccentric third ruler, was a megalomaniac who dared to defy the gods or a maligned emperor whose caprices were exaggerated after his death.

Now a group of archaeologists digging up Caligula's ancient palace say they have finally found concrete evidence that he was indeed a "maniac" who turned one of Rome's most revered temples into the front porch of his residence

If anyone wants to read the article:

I thought historians have realized for awhile that Caligula was a twisted individual, though not as bad as the movie portrayed.
Still. Caligula was a great movie.
