Template:Short description Publius Afranius Potitus was a Roman plebeian who vowed during an illness of Caligula to sacrifice his own life if the emperor recovered, expecting to be rewarded for his devotion.[1] But when Caligula got well, and Afranius was unwilling to fulfill his vow, the emperor had him dressed as a sacrificial victim, paraded through the streets, and then hurled down from the eminence (Template:Langx) by the Colline gate.[2][3]
