Didn't Caligula also have a thing about sea shells? [View all]
As I recall this was in relation to his war on Poseiden, the spoils of his great "victory."
"Caligula" means "Little Boots" in Latin, a childhood nickname that stuck.
Google Translate says that our own "Little Hands" should be rendered as "Parvae Manus" in Latin.
Doesn't quite have the same ring.
