Gaius Caesar was the famous dictator.
Born Gaius Octavius as a son of Gaius Octavius of Atia Balba Caesonia, the later Emperor Augustus (63 BC – AD 14) was adopted by Julius Caesar, and from that moment known as Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus.

Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus Minor (12–41), nicknamed Caligula, was Emperor from 37 AD to 41 AD. At first, after the death of Tiberius, the people of Rome adored him, electing him immediately as sole Imperator of the Roman Empire, but after several years of debauchery and slights against senators, such as ordering the wives of prominent senators to be prostitutes in his brothel, he was slain by his own centurion officers. Afterwards, he was half cremated and then hastily buried outside the city. It was said that his ghost roamed the halls of the imperial palace until his sisters exhumed his body and gave him a proper burial.
