Was Caligula Mad‚ Or A Man Ahead Of His Time? The emperor Gaius is a very misunderstood man‚ who is often brandished with the label of being ‘Mad’ both by ancient and modern scholars.

These were the circumstances that brought Trevor and his two associates to the El Paso “International” airport. For most‚ El Paso proper would not be considered a huge city‚ but for the Southwest United States‚ it is extensive. If you considered the two states and two countries there were two-point-seven million people working and living in the area. Trevor would never be mistaken for an enormous man.
