Caligula wasn't crazy
The most outrageous stories about Caligula, such as the incest allegations, come from Suetonius's The Twelve Caesars. It is an absolutely fascinating read, but it focuses on the scandalous personal lives of the emperors. Contemporary sources from Caligula's lifetime make no mention of incestuous relationships with his sister. It was likely a myth that spread after his death.
