	Caligula Summary
		Caligula even planned to place a statue of himself as Zeus in the Holy of Holies in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem; the Jews had been granted religious rights and freedom by Julius Caesar, and were generally treated as being outside the scope of Roman religious law.
		This attempt was delayed for years by the governor, Publius Petronius, and finally ended due to the intervention of Herod Agrippa, a personal friend of the Emperor and king of Judea.
		Outlandish stories cluster about the raving emperor, illustrating his excessive cruelty, multiple and peculiar sexual escapades (both heterosexual and homosexual, at least as claimed by Suetonius, Cal. 36), or disrespect toward tradition and the Senate.
