Caligula, say (7)

I believe the answer is:

emperor

'caligula say' is the definition.
(Caligula was a Roman emperor)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for emperor that I've seen before include "Eg, Caesar" , "Largest type of penguin" , "Purple --; -- penguin" , "noted by Beethoven" , "Absolute ruler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
