As we already know, the refusal of the early Christians to pay tribute to the traditional pagan gods made them atheists. Apparently, however, the ancient Romans had yet another negative impression regarding this new religion. The ancient Romans apparently believed these people were cannibals! This likely stemmed from the way they “drank” the blood of Christ and ate his body during communion. The early Christians later invited Roman officials to sit and observe the practice to prove that it did not involve eating and drinking the flesh and blood of any human beings.
Emperor Caligula And His Relationships With His Dear Sisters
Emperor Caligula was the leader of the Roman Empire from AD 37 to AD 41. His reign is well-known thanks to the scandal and controversy brought about by his tendencies towards perversion, sadism, and luxurious lifestyle. Caligula also enjoyed the pleasures of the flesh and liked to go to bed with the wives of other men. Apparently, he even committed incest with his sisters Livilla, Drusilla, and Agrippina the Younger! There were even reports how he sold his siblings to other men. However, keep in mind that the outrageous stories about the emperor has yet to be proven. One expert said, “a lot of the evidence is pretty shaky” but it sure is very interesting stuff, isn’t it?
