          Abstract

          Este artigo aborda a questão da "loucura imperial" na Roma antiga, indagando-se sobre o que seria peculiar a ações de imperadores, como Calígula, Nero e Domiciano, que conduziu a conflitos com a aristocracia. Argumenta-se que apenas uma análise das estruturas e sistemas históricos do Alto Império possibilita explicar certos padrões de comportamento imperial, usualmente classificados como loucura pela historiografia dos séculos XIX e XX.

          Translated abstract

          This article addresses the question of "imperial madness" in ancient Rome, asking what was so particular about the actions of emperors, as Caligula, Nero, and Domitian, that it led to conflicts with the aristocracy. It is argued that only an analysis of the historical structures and systems of the Early Empire could explain certain patterns of imperial behaviour that usually are classified as madness by the historiography of the 19th and 20th centuries.
