Read the full account
Suetonius and Dio print that at accession Gaius recalled exiles, published imperial accounts, and staged piety toward Tiberius’s will before breaking it. The dated English is the carrier. A brief transparency-and-amnesty turn is an improving instrument even if reversed.
Context
Reversals are other rows. Erasing the opening months because the end was bloody is a cartoon. Confidence medium on motive, high that the sources bother to record a honeymoon.
Caligula is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.
Why it matters
Printed early amnesty is a limited resilience path, not a constitution.
