That was supposedly to show the empire that Caligula doesn't care about shit, that he'd send men into the ocean and WIN if need be. He was supposedly sane when he did this. Also, when he elected his horse into (some political position I forget what it's called) it was because he just didn't like the person lobbying for that position and was spiting him.
Consul, that's what it was, thanks. As I said above, he elected his horse Consul because he wanted to belittle the person who was trying to become Consul. "No, I don't think you're fit for the job. You lack the ability to do it correctly. On that note, meet Buttercup, our new Consul."
Dont forget that time the Italian army marched for 3 days to battle and then when they finally met the enemy they retreated the same distance in 3 hours.
What about that time King Henry the 5th was excommunicated by Pope Gregory the 2nd and Henry literally spent four days kneeling in the snow waiting for Gregory to accept him back in.
