EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a fascinating moment in history, depicting the infamous Roman Emperor Caligula feeding his beloved horse Swift at his table from golden tableware. Known for his eccentric and often cruel behavior, Caligula's decision to make his horse a priest and even consider appointing him as consul showcases the extent of his madness. The image is a powerful reminder of the excesses and extravagance of ancient Rome, where emperors wielded absolute power and could indulge their wildest whims without consequence. The juxtaposition of opulent golden tableware with the humble presence of a horse highlights the absurdity of Caligula's rule and serves as a cautionary tale about unchecked authority. Mary Evans Picture Library has captured this historical moment with exquisite detail, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the world of ancient Rome and witness firsthand the bizarre antics of one of its most notorious figures. The image invites contemplation on themes such as power, privilege, and the limits of human folly.
