I guess this question is more difficult than I imagined. This is a giveaway, but only addresses one of the historical aspects of this question.
Here is another clue; In what may be his most popular work, the late English author Robert Graves, presented this man as being a murderous sociopath from his childhood, who became clinically insane in adulthood.
Ah. Now I've read "I, Clavdivs". Perhaps we're talking about emperor "Little Boots", Caligula?
Now we are getting somewhere :up:Quote:

Maybe some large-scale artwork depicting some military campaign? Perhaps even his father's campaign in Germany?
I have not the slightest clue what the artefacts might be. Nemi could be the name of a lake in all sorts of places, too. My first reaction was Hungary, but I don't believe that can be right.
You are close enough. ;) I'm not going to drag this one question on forever. The two Nemi ships were enormous, as big as any Rome was rumored to be capable of making. Caligula used them as a Floating Palace, where he worshiped Diana, and Isis. These ships contained technology considered to have not been harnessed until recent times. Here is one link; it's a little long winded.Quote:
