At the start of Caligula’s reign at the helm of the Roman Empire, he was described as being beloved by “all in the world, from the rising to the setting son”. The Roman people were so overtly enthusiastic about the death of Tiberius, that they would have likely adored any successor who seemed at the very least to be an ok human being. Caligula particularly also had the advantage of being a son of the treasured Germanicus, and in the early months of his rule, he was fairly mild and cheerful. He portrayed himself as generous, playful, and a lavish spender in a way that also seemed to benefit the public.
