Synopsis

What is true and what is false in the disturbing stories circulated about the controversial Roman emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (12–41), known as Caligula? Professor Mary Beard examines which details in the historical accounts portraying him as an unstable ruler are accurate and which are mythical. Was he truly a cruel tyrant, as described by Roman historians, or was the truth about him altered for political reasons?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
