Caligula https://g.co/kgs/h5VMGi

He was soon given his nickname Caligula, meaning "little (soldier's) boot" in Latin, after the small boots (caligae) he wore. Gaius, though, reportedly grew to dislike this nickname. Suetonius claims that Germanicus was poisoned in Syria by an agent of Tiberius, who viewed Germanicus as a political rival.

1. On a side note,

I wonder if Father Monster Drumpf drilled the meaning of his name into his head when he was just a wee monster?

Donald

From the Gaelic name Domhnall meaning "ruler of the world", composed of the old Celtic elements dumno "world" and val "rule". This was the name of two 9th-century kings of the Scots and Picts. It has traditionally been very popular in Scotland, and during the 20th century it became common in the rest of the English-speaking world. This is the name of one of Walt Disney's most popular cartoon characters, Donald Duck. It was also borne by Australian cricket player Donald Bradman (1908-2001).

Domhnall Drumpf.

3. A little more on Caligula.

As a two-or-three year old, he accompanied his father on several campaigns, dressed in a miniature soldier's outfit. That's when soldiers, seeing his tiny boots, gave him the nickname.

Later, he was assassinated by senators and members of his Praetorian Guard. Assassinated, as in stabbed something like thirty times with Roman short swords.

And yes, the movie is... well... quite the... ummm... experience.
