Скачать или смотреть Rome's Greatest Taboo: The Emperor Who Made His Sister a Goddess

In the summer of 38 AD, the Roman world was shattered by the death of a young woman and the unprecedented grief of an emperor. The young, volatile, and powerful Caligula did the unthinkable: he declared his beloved sister, Julia Drusilla, a goddess. But was this an act of devotion, madness, or a calculated political move?

This is the story of one of history's most infamous bonds. We delve into the treacherous world of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, where whispers could kill and love was a weapon. Explore the life and death of Diva Drusilla sister, confidante, and rumored lover and how her deification marked a terrifying turning point in the reign of an emperor who believed he could rewrite reality itself.

In this video, we explore:
👉The tragic childhood of Caligula and Drusilla under the tyranny of Emperor Tiberius.
👉The intense and unsettling bond that grew in the shadowy court on Capri.
👉Caligula's rise to power and the unprecedented honors he bestowed upon his sisters.
👉The shocking fever, the sudden death, and the empire-wide mourning that followed.
