Most historians would say, "none." Caligula appears to have suffered a major illness shortly after becoming Emperor in 37 CE. For the remaining years of his reign, he was alternately capricious and cruel. He wasted state resources on meaningless military expeditions, became ever more paranoid and delusional, frittered away the funds amassed in the treasury by his predecessor, his great Uncle, Tiberius, and threatened and terrified senator and citizen alike. By the year 41, many people had had enough, and he was assassinated by soldiers in January, 41 CE.

Caligula may have been an immature, spoiled brat, and some think he was insane, but he took care of the Roman people by giving bonuses and entertainments. He secured the borders and had no major invasions during his reign. For all his bad reputation, his government policies were sound. There was no civil unrest during his rule.

With the death of Caligula and the bad experience of his rule behind them, many senators considered exchanging rule by dynasty for the return to a republic. While the Senate discussed this possibility, the Praetorian Guard -- an institution of violence -- searched for a credible successor to Caligula. The guardsmen found him in Caligula's uncle, Claudius, the brother of Germanicus and a familiar figure within Augustus' family. Claudius rewarded the Guard with money for their support. Discussions in the Senate about the problems of succession and a republic came to an end, affecting Europe into modern times.

Caligula had a very short reign and really did not have time to contribute (or destroy) too much. Despite his personal irregularities, he maintained secure borders, both along the German frontier and in the east, where he came to an agreement with the Parthians. However his major contribution was his death. It was the first time that the Praetorian Guard took a hand in selecting emperors. It acted as a warning to other men aspiring to rule.
No, he was not. Under his rule Roman Empire suffered politically and financially, he was arrogant egomaniac who abused power every imaginable ways and even declared himself a living God.
