The Roman world enjoyed this delicious repose for eight months; when all the horrors of the preceding reign were renewed, and a career of wanton cruelty, crime, folly, and indecency commenced. Not satisfied with sporting with the living, he assailed the statues and memory of the dead, and replaced the heads of the gods with his own. His profane mockery erected temples and ordered priests to himself, human victims were devoured by wild beasts in his palace; incest and lewdness, theft and murder,... received his special patronage and countenance. To his horse Incitatus a palace was erected and domestics assigned ; a marble stable and ivory rack, gilt barley, and wine from a golden cup. He fell, at last, by the hand of an assassin.
Claudius. Claudius succeeded his nephew, Caligula, by appoint- A.D.41. ment of the pretorians, and pursued a mild and popular course, till, through the influence of his wanton and profligate relative Messalina, whom he had married, he became like his predecessors, an inhuman and bloody tyrant.
