Caligula, the emperor of Rome from AD. 37 to 41, owned that may have been historys most pampered horse. Caligula loved and cared for thisspecial horse, whose name was Incitatus, in the most unusual way.Incitatus lived in a place surrounded by the splendor and riches of royalty. His marble stall had an ivory manger and a golden water bowl. Anaverage citizen of Rome had far fewer comforts than Incitatus enjoyed. The horse ate better quality food than most of the people of his day.Slaves, whose sole duty was to satisfy the horses every need, attended Incitatus constantly, while musicians entertained him with gentlemelodies.Each evening Incitatus had dinner in a large banquet hall with senators and other important guests. The perfumed horse wore elegant jeweledcollar to these feasts. What happened if an invited guest did not care to dine with a horse? Such an uncooperative person could face exile oreven death.Caligula gave his horse virtually every luxury he could bestow. He even tried to appoint the horse to the office of Consul, an important politicalpost that had once been held by Julius Cesar. The horse did not, however, assume political office. Two palace guards, feeling that Caligula hadcarried his bizarre affection for an equine companion to excess, murdered the emperor to end his mad rule.
