Well I suppose its better than being said one is stranger than Caligula. However Caligula was the single most insane emperor ever to rule Rome; shortly after being crowned he had his own 10 year old nephew Germanicus beheaded by his guards because the child was suffering from a persistent cough Caligula supposedly could hear all the way from his throne room. But that was the most appropriate comparison Ozmandius could make.
Obviously, “his” can’t imply ownership in this context, any more than “his secretary.” Caligula appointing his horse to the Senate was still nepotism but, since the horse involved must have been intelligent and articulate, not as foolish as it was in our universe!
Or the Supreme Court appointing…oh, wait, that hasn’t happened yet.
The supreme court one ruled over the difference between fruits and vegetables. I guess they had nothing better to do.

I wonder what species Caligula was in this ‘verse.

Wait a sec, if horse are intelligent in this universe, how the hell could anybody “own” a horse ?
