Throughout history, there have been plenty of crazy emperors that declared ridiculous wars that they had no chance of winning, but few come close to what Caligula of Rome tried to do. If you’re unfamiliar with Caligula of Rome, you should know that he already has a reputation for being a bit unhinged, but this act of madness may top a long list of questionable acts.

The main tactic involved soldiers throwing their spears into the sea and collecting seashells as symbols of their military success.
