How did Rygula Ka Rygula, the card of Rome IV, die?

Speaking of the Roman emperor Rygula, whether tyrannical or not, compared with Tipenlu, Claudius and even Nero, Ka Rygula is nothing, but the top three are somewhat superior. There is also Carregula's * * *, cruel, abnormal, incompetent and so on. It took only three years to clean up his father's glory and become notorious. Tracing back to the source, Ka Ruigula, whose family was unhappy and grew up in the dark, was actually a child. Being in the center of power turned the child's stubbornness into a disaster.

"What can a person have if he gains the world but loses his soul?"

Anyone who has seen The Legend of the Roman Empire must be familiar with Regula. This film has been banned for a long time, and everyone should be able to guess the reason, so I won't say more.

But it should be emphasized that "Ka Regula" is not the real name of the third emperor of the Roman Empire. His real name is Gaius Caesar Augustus, and he is the youngest son of Octavian's adopted grandson Jie Mannix and Octavian's granddaughter Agrippina.

Before Germanicus died, Gaius had a happy childhood. His father was deeply loved by Roman soldiers and civilians and was regarded as the only candidate to inherit the throne; His mother and two brothers love him deeply; Even the soldiers in his father's barracks dressed him in special military boots and affectionately called him "Kari Gula" (meaning little military boots).

The untimely death of my father made all this disappear.

In A.D. 19, after Nikus, a German, died suddenly in Egypt, Regula, who was only seven years old, returned to Rome with her mother who believed that her husband had died in the conspiracy of Emperor Tiberius and Egyptian Governor Piso. Since then, young Ka Regula has lived in a growing environment, and the relationship between his mother Agrippina and his nominal grandfather Tiberius is deteriorating.

After the death of Empress Livia, Tiberius began a domestic violence against Germanicus' wife and children: the eldest sons Agrippina and Nero were exiled on charges of conspiring to subvert the country, the second son Durusu was imprisoned in the basement of the palace and died of hunger strike, and the youngest son Ka Regula of Germanicus was also called by the emperor to Capri Island for close surveillance.

The years Tiberius and I spent in Capri were undoubtedly a frightening time. In the face of this "grandfather" who ruined his family, Ka Regula showed great respect and obedience and never mentioned the persecution suffered by his family.

The endless court intrigue and political struggle made Tiberius more suspicious in his later years, and he did not hesitate to use cruel means to deal with political enemies, but the old emperor never killed this grandson who was not his own.

After Tiberius died at the age of 79, the Senate handed over all power to Ka Rygula, regardless of the wishes of the first emperor to ask his grandson Tiberius Jr. to rule with Ka Rygula. For the Roman people who have long been tired of Tiberius, nothing is more gratifying than the son of Germanicus becoming their new emperor.

Amid the cheers of national support, 24-year-old Ka Regula inherited a huge empire.

Although Tiberius did his best, he disdained to please the Senate and the people, which made him notorious. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the first emperor, Regula spared no effort to please his subjects at the beginning of his reign:

He abolished the business tax and the "informer" system, pardoned all those who were sentenced to exile in the past to show kindness and tolerance, changed the restrictions of the former emperors on public entertainment, and held a large number of carriage races, gladiatorial competitions and various stage performances to win the people's favor. ...

All these made the new emperor universally loved by the Roman people. Five months after he ascended the throne, Regula, who was only 25 years old, was awarded the title of "Father of the Nation" by the Senate, which Tiberius had never received in his life.

The young emperor was intoxicated with his political achievements and forgot the importance of business tax levied to raise national defense funds to national defense and finance, as well as the huge expenses caused by excessive entertainment. However, this was temporarily concealed under the support of Tiberius' huge legacy of 2.7 billion Cestius.

Just when Ka Regula was surrounded by unprecedented honor and power, a sudden illness came.

The high fever lasted for seven months before the emperor woke up from a long nightmare. Combined with Rygula's future behavior, we have reason to believe that this serious illness has had a great impact on him.

Witnessing the cruelty of the court struggle and the desolate and lonely night of the former emperor Tiberius, Ka Regula's heart was shrouded in the shadow of death and betrayal, and he began to be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, fearing that he would be betrayed and lose everything he had now.

This fear grew after proper relationship's sister Drusilla died. It is under the control of this kind of psychology that Ka Regula is gone forever on the road of death.

The first to suffer is the Senate and the powerful.

After Regula ascended the throne, he abolished the "informer" system, which made the elders in the late period of Tiberius' administration turn pale and destroyed all the informer files in public. Now he takes out copies of these destroyed materials and curses all the disgraceful acts committed by the elders of the Senate (he swore that he had never even seen these things).

Not only that, he also ordered the deprivation of aristocratic symbols from many aristocratic families, brutally killed his elders, and even his father-in-law and the leader of the Guards who helped him ascend to the throne were executed by the suspicious emperor on trumped-up charges.

The huge financial burden brought by entertainment events finally crushed the national treasury. In order to continue to meet the entertainment needs of himself and the Roman people, Ka Regula did not hesitate to levy and extort money:

He amended the inheritance law, stipulating that Roman citizens must add the emperor's name to their heirs, otherwise the inheritance will be confiscated, and ordered the collection of fuel tax and taxes from pornographic industries such as prostitutes. He even started selling palace furniture and jewelry.

The original intention of the competition between gladiators and chariots was to win the hearts of the people, but the act of raising taxes at will in order to raise funds undoubtedly had a great negative impact on the lives of all walks of life in Rome, especially ordinary people.

Even if he offended the Senate and the Roman people, as the son of the emperor and Germanic Nikus, he could at least get the support of the army, but Regula was determined to go all the way to the black on the road of death.

On the spur of the moment, he dispatched troops all over the empire in an attempt to personally lead the army to conquer the Germans and establish the meritorious military service. As a result, he gave up the idea before the war really started. In order to cover up his personal expedition, Regula returned to Rome "tinkering around the edges". This series of absurd actions not only made the already precarious state treasury worse, but also made the emperor lose prestige in the military.

Diplomatically, due to Regula's imprudence and arrogance, the relationship between Rome and Rest (Parthian Empire) continued to be tense, and Jews' dissatisfaction with Roman rule also deepened, which laid the fuse for the later Jewish uprising.

In just three years, Ka Regula pushed the parliament, the people and the army to their opposites. At the beginning of his reign, the beloved emperor became unsociable.

On April 24th, A.D. 4 1 year, Ka Ruigula was assassinated by 28-year-old guard captain Gaius Gaius Cassius Longinus Langjinus Kalia, and his queen and daughter were also killed. The Senate, which learned of the emperor's death, wanted to take the opportunity to restore peace, but was forced to agree to continue to support the monarchy under the threat of the guards' sword.

Whether Claudius participated in the coup d' é tat to assassinate Ka Regula also triggered a debate in later generations. After all, as far as the result is concerned, he is indeed the biggest beneficiary.

After Regula's death, people reacted coldly, without tears or cheers. His body was not buried in the mausoleum of Augustus, but was buried by his exiled sister.

Regula's life is tragic. This naive young man only saw Tiberius' indifference and criticism, ignoring that he left behind a powerful and prosperous empire. He tried his best to win the support and love of his subjects, but his immature and absurd actions backfired, and eventually his reputation was ruined, leaving only endless ridicule for history.
