Caligula

Caligula served as the third emperor of Rome. He was in his 20’s when he came to power, which explains the baby face we see in the modern AI rendering. Apparently, he was balding from an early age. So this depiction may have too much hair on his head. Sometimes, he would wear wigs to cover it up. And if he saw a man with a lusciously thick beard, he would demand that it be shaved out of jealousy.

According to historians, he was a relaxed ruler for the first six months of his reign. After that, he was considered to be a sadistic, insane tyrant who was also sexually perverted. His power was short-lived, though, and he was only emperor for four years.
