SUMMARY: According to modern scholars, Caligula’s dynastic policy underwent a sudden change
as a result of a conspiracy planned against him (even if not carried out) by his former brotherin-
law and heres designatus Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, his sisters Agrippina and Livilla, and
the legatus of Upper Germany, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Gaetulicus. No one has ever seriously
questioned the authenticity of this alleged plot. Suetonius and Dio Cassius, giving information
on the fact, rely on the same common primary source, a letter addressed to the Senate by Caligula
himself to explain why he had decided to order Lepidus’ execution and his sisters’ relegation
into exile. But indeed the reliability of Caligula’s accuses is to be questioned, and the
affair to be examined anew. Thus Lepidus, Agrippina and Livilla are no longer to be considered
plotters, but victims of a plot weaved by Caligula (most probably under the pressure of
his fourth wife, Milonia Cesonia). Caligula probably aimed at strengthening the dynastic position
of his newly born daughter Drusilla and of her mother, and at defending them from some
of his closest relatives, whose ambitions could be a serious danger for their personal safety.
