Cameo Portrait of Caligula in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 2009
Onyx Cameo of the Emperor Gaius (Caligula)
Roman, ca. 37-43 AD
Accession # 11.195.7
Caligula is represented here as a victorious general- the triumphant "imperator," but in fact he did not win any wars for Rome. His lack of military success and prowess alienated him from the army, and without its support, his rule became increasingly insecure. He was assassinated in Rome when aged only twenty-eight.
