The Suda’s entry Γάϊος (γ 12 Adler) discusses Caligulas’s decision to allow slaves’ allega- tions against their masters. According to the Suda, the emperor would have established a δουλοκρατία and led to ruin the entire world through his decision. Josephus discusses the same measure in the Jewish Antiquities, but his narrative allows to understand the reasons why the emperor chose this path and the way he exploited the ruling.

Josephus discusses the same measure in the Jewish Antiquities, but his narrative allows to understand the reasons why the emperor chose this path and the way he exploited the ruling.File in questo prodotto:
