Emperors

Today in class we lightly touched Octavius and then went on to the following emperors. We started with Tiberius who ruled from 14-37 AD. He exiled himself after his sons death which I don't really get why he did that. Caligula ruled for three years from 37-41 AD. He was known for his perversity. He was assassinated by the guards and senators. Next was Claudius who ruled from 41-54 AD. He suffered from what people think was cerebral palsy and was poisoned and killed partially because of that, and his wife wanted her son Nero to rule. Nero ruled from 54-69 AD, and liked the arts a ton. He was ruler during a massive fire and raided some of the temples for money. In class when i looked up the most influential people, I saw that Octavius Caesar was up there at 18th i think. What surprised me the most was that Adolf Hitler was at 36th. I know i guess technically he did influence a lot of people but in the complete wrong way.
