"One
of the other sources for Spike was an Emperor of Rome called
Caligula, who was a sick and twisted man. He had an affair
with his half sister - her name was Drusilla. So who knows the
history
of Dru and Spike!" JM
"He
lived in habitual incest with all his sisters and at a large
banquet
he placed each of them turn below him, while his wife reclined
above. Of these he is believed to have violated Drusilla when
he was still
a minor, and even to have been caught lying with her by his grandmother
Antonia, at whose house they were brought up in company. Afterwards,
when she was the wife of Lucius Cassius Longinus, an ex-consul,
he took her from him and openly treated her as his lawful wife;
and when ill, he made her heir to his property and the throne." (Source)
"His
parents had obviously failed raising him because according to
some
scholars Gaius slept with his sister Drusilla at the age of thirteen." (Source)
"He
earned the nickname, "Caligula" (which roughly translates
to "Little Boots") at age 2, when he appeared in front
of the army in a miniature version of the full military outfit including
army boots, or "caliga". He hated his nickname, and during
his reign he punished anyone whom he caught using it." (Source)
Some
accounts say that Caligula was very cruel and vicious with not only
Drusilla and his sisters, but also with others. About six months
after he became Emperor of Rome he fell very ill and afterwards
started to behave strangely and at times 'crazed'. Some think that
he might have had a mental illness. (Gathered from my readings.
