Ancient tradition records numerous tales that seem to attest to Caligula’s madness and his passion for horse racing. One episode in particular, that relating to the desire to appoint the horse Incitatus as senator, can be reread and interpreted in the light of the political context of the years 37-39 A.D. as an indicator of the clash between prince and senate.
