    Visually creative, but probably too quick for the Caligula of tradition (evidently the real one was merely an occasionally violent troll). One thing Caligula was supposed to have said while ordering an execution was to tell his henchmen that he wanted the prisoners cut slowly with knives, "so that they FEEL that they are dying." The phrase is so simple and terrible that it might even be true.

      @ To be able to say whether vast majority of texts are gone you have to know how many are supposed to be there. That is not known.
      But in general Rome has left us with many more written records and books than any other civilization. In any case, no one goes "well there is no document saying it didn't exist, so it could have existed." Logically no one would make a record describing a very specific thing to just state it didn't exist. Records usually describe actions or things which did take place or did exist.
