Question

While visiting Egypt, this ruler supposedly stole Alexander the Great's breastplate from his sarcophagus. This emperor, who built an enormous floating palace on Lake Nemi, declared war on the god of the sea after his failed conquest (15[1])of Britain. (15[1])While accompanying his father Germanicus on campaign as a child, (15[1])this emperor received the nickname (*) “little boots.” After being assassinated by members of the Praetorian guard, this man was succeeded by his uncle Claudius in 41 BC. This successor of Tiberius notoriously attempted to make his horse Incitatus a Consul in the Senate. For 10 points, name this insane third emperor of the Roman Empire. ■END■
