I've lost Justin's e-mail address, but this message may be worthwhile to the
list as a whole... 

I've lost your answer to the below, but if I remember my original point,
the idea of Caligula naming himself "Germanicus" isn't that different
from Reagan being dubbed "Granadicus," Bush "Panamacus," or Clinton
"Sudanicus." (They're a bunch of cusses, too.)

Germanicus wasn't an emperor, just a general. He was the father of
Caligula, though.

if I remember correctly, Caligula called himself Germanicus, too.
