2. Caligula’s Floating Palaces
Caligula’s taste for excess took to the water with his legendary parties on the Lake Nemi barges. These weren’t ordinary boats—they were floating palaces decked out in marble, glittering mosaics, and even featured running water. Guests indulged in endless feasts, live music, and entertainment that pushed every boundary of Roman decorum. The atmosphere was scandalous, luxurious, and unforgettable, making these events the superyacht parties of their era. See BBC’s coverage
