Caligula's smile is nightmare material. Great job by the way!!

Even without knowing the history behind Caligula, this reconstruction looks a lot like the Serial Killer that the neighbors tell the police and the news reporters, "He was such a nice looking person. Very quiet and private. We never suspected him of anything . . . ."

Thanks for bringing the little monster to life

[elenin]

I swear I was genuinely terrified, your work is amazing when I saw him smile my heart started racing

[deborahcornell]

I've never forgotten John Hurt's portrayal of Caligula in "I, Claudius", originally broadcast on "Masterpiece Theatre" back in the 70's. He was remarkable depicting Caligula's descent into madness. The whole series was brilliant.
Thank you for this intriguing video.🌿💚

The reconstruction of Caligula seems spot on with his nature, and Julia is extremely beautiful in this reconstruction.

Little Boot was absolutely terrifying. He looked mad as in crazy.

[thetruth]

He looks uncannily like Malcolm McDowell, who played him in the 1979 film.

I"m obsessed!! LOVE Roman/Ancient history and this is just soooo fascinating! THanks for being out there in the internet land showing this incredible work

[alterego]

I think, if you saw this guy smiling at you, it meant your life or something very nasty was about to happen to you.

This is realistic, it gave me chills...fantastic work. Other versions of kings, queen's, emperor's, etc tend to be beautified in excess, perfect teeth, jawlines, noses, skins without a blemish... This looks like real people, not Hollywood actors. Thank you👍✨😘

OK, young Caligula is a dead ringer for King Joffrey.

[JacquesKinnaerCello]

Some scholars would say that Caligula's reputation as an absolute madman is based on writings dated several decades after his death, written by "historians" who discredited emperors who, like Caligula, were very autocratic. Caligula in particular seems to have strived towards a monarchy as there had been in the Near East (Egypt, Mesopotamia) before the Roman conquest. There are some interesting documentaries on youtube that try to sift fact from fiction about this emperor.

I've seen lots of facial animations of roman emperors but Caligula on this vid gave me chills . Straight up.

[videosdeecologia]

Malcolm McDowell was extremely similar to Caligula's appearance when he played the character in 1979's movie Caligula. Caligula was a tall man also: 1, 93 m... Making him even more scary...

[hschiff]

Incredible work; to look at the face of an emperor madman is just surreal and amazing.... these depictions make you want to read and learn more about them!!!! Άριστη δουλειά

[jennyrose]

Wow how'd you get him to have the serial killer gaze??

[Paul-ucqj]

From the reconstructions, it looks like Caligula's youngest sister Julia Livilla was the prettiest. Too bad her uncle Claudius, who became Emperor after Caligula, had her executed by starvation because his wife Messalina was jealous of her.

2:11 thankyou now he will haunt me in my nightmares

Sometimes the notifications go by too fast & you have to keep scrolling back to read them.

A lovely, innocent looking boy.
Did he see too much when growing up?

Tiberius was known for his debauchery.
Caligula spent quite a bit of time around Emperor Tiberius.

Livia, Tiberius’ Mother, had so many people who stood in her way, murdered.
Was Caligula an astute observer?

Did he see how she operated?
Ruthlessly, deposing of people for ambition, & getting away with everything.

Did Livia not ask Caligula to erect statues, & make her a Goddess, on her death bed when he became Emperor?
So that she would not be damned to Hades for all eternity, because of all her wicked crimes.

Caligula refused her this dying request.

Caligula was so depraved, mentally ill, & dangerous. Everyone was terrified of him.

Interesting to look into the face of an Emperor who held the highest position in the empire. Yet he was utterly insane

There is something so sinister in Caligula’s eyes, as an adult, it gives you the creeps.
