I remember being a young teenager and catching a glimpse of Caligula on TV (and I’m talking like Channel 4 at 3pm), and was naturally very… um, intrigued.

You’re probably pretty aware that the Roman Empire was more liberal than a Soho bathhouse, and it was pretty commonplace for the soldiers to service each other. Sadly, there’s none of that in this clip, but the fact that movies were being made with such unsimulated sex was wild.

The film centres around: “The perversion behind imperial Rome, the epic story of Rome’s mad Emporer. All the details of his cruel, bizarre reign are revealed right here: His unholy sexual passion for his sister, his marriage to Rome’s most infamous prostitute, his fiendishly inventive means of disposing those who would oppose him, and more.”
