3 Emperors

I know this is late, but i forgot to post it all weekend. 

Tiberius
* Stepson of Augustus 
* He was next in line for emperor
* This made people wary because he hadn't earned anyones respect and they feared he did't have enough knowledge in the that job
* He wasn't the first choice of Augustus
* He started off well, then his ideas became more weird and strange

Caligula:
* Became emperor 25 years old
* He had crazy ideas and people considered him crazy 
* He was murdered by his aids

Claudius:
* He was disfigured
* People made fun of him and pulled pranks on him before he became emperor
* Proved to be an able and efficient administrator
