Evidence For and against that he thought he was divine
For
Gaius dressed up as Deitiies and claimd honours that were not aceptable
A desire to be seen as different from Tiberious
the emporors of rome were already regarded as Gods in the east; e.g. Egypt
Gaius wanted to do away with Augustuses Duality and be worshiped as a god throught the empire
Guias Grandfather was a god and so was his great grandfather
The attempt to dedicate the temple in Jerusalam to Guias shows how he thought that he was a god but due to pressure from advisors and the threat of revolt Nero gave the idear up
Cult center at miletus a good example of how Gaius created a cult dedicated to worshiping him
In the latter part of Guias reign the policy changed and Temples were erected towards caligula and sacrifices to him were allowed
Caligulars lifestyle was more like that of an egyption ruler and god, wather than they were a good ruler
Destroys the image of a republic that Augustus created and Tibirius preserved
Sanate granted Caligular a temple on the Palatine
Gias dressed up as different Dieties, including the goddes venus, and demanded that sacrifices would be made to him
Againsed
Useful substitut for thoughs who did not have any millitaary of political power
Bias in scorces
At the begining of his reign Gias did not allow any sacrifises to be made to him
In rome Guias was fairly conservative, holding the office of pontiface maximus which had been held by both augustus and tiberius
No Evidence found at the sight of his cult
Outset destructive with Decorum
