What is true and what is false in the hideous stories spread about the controversial figure of the Roman emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (12-41), nicknamed Caligula?

Was he a sadistic tyrant, as Roman historians have told, or perhaps the truth about him was manipulated because of political interests?
