Les bains d'or de Caligula. Immensi aureorum acerui (Suétone, Cal. 42, 3)

Julien Guey, «Les bains d'or» de Caligula, immensi aureorum acerui (Suétone, Cal, 42, 3), p. 443-446.
Il s'agit d'un sacrement «à l'égyptienne», le Pharaon étant dieu et l'or étant «la chair des dieux». Caligula espère opérer ainsi, de son vivant, sa propre divinisation: c'est là la véritable interprétation du texte de Suétone (cf. l'article précédent de François Daumas).
