Power corrupts. We’re all aware of that. But how fast can it corrupt us? Junius, the protagonist of “Caligula”, had vowed to seek vengeance for the murder of her mother and siblings. He had gone through great efforts to breach into the emperor’s inner circle.

And now, confronted with the Emperor of Rome, he’s unable to kill him. What happens next? Caligula bestows upon him the sobriquet Felix (“the lucky one”) and takes him to the races. As other emperors, Caligula was a gambler. And within the confines of the Roman circus, the people get hysterically enthusiastic about gambling. This fact has been documented by historians such as Suetonius: teams would bear a primary color and compete with each other, people would place bets, fortunes would be won and lost.
Power & corruption / corrupción y poder |
Felix is now drifting amidst the world of the rulers, the world of those not controlled by rules but by sheer desire. It is in that situation in which this young man must decide what to do about the man he had sworn to kill.
Violent, strong and erotically adventurous, the second issue of the miniseries by David Lapham and German Nobile shows us the horror of civilization and gives us a glimpse of the supernatural.
