ABSTRACT:
The claim that Caligula disguised some Gallic nobles as barbarian captives in order to parade them in his triumph at Rome (Suet. Calig. 47) is best interpreted in light of the claim elsewhere that he dismissed many claims to Roman citizenship while he was in Gaul (Suet. Calig. 38). He did not really dress any Gallic provincials as imitation German prisoners-of-war, but simply forced those whom he believed to be falsely claiming Roman citizenship to return to what he considered to be their native customs, customs which they shared with the Germans according to traditional Roman stereotypes (long-hair, normally red, with barbarian names).
