Did you know that in Ancient Rome, Emperor Caligula declared war on the sea god Neptune by ordering his soldiers to stab the water and collect seashells as spoils of war? Talk about a watery conquest! He even attempted to make his horse a consul, believing it was more competent than his political rivals. Caligula's bizarre behavior didn't stop there - he once appointed his favorite horse as a priest and ordered it to dine with him at the royal table. With actions like these, it's no wonder he was known as the mad emperor of Rome!
