IncitatusIncitatus was the name of Roman emperor Caligula's favored horse. Some have indicated that the horse was attended to by eighteen servants, and was fed oats mixed with gold flake; according to Suetonius, Incitatus had a stable of marble, with an ivory manger, purple blankets and a collar of precious stones. Suetonius wrote also that Caligula supposedly wanted to make his horse a Consul. The horse would also "invite" dignitaries to dine with him, and had a house with full complement of servants to entertain such guests. See also: List of historical horses
