Claudius was of a distinctly religious turn of mind, as is shown by the interest he took in sacred buildings (the temple at Eleusis, the sanctuary of Amphiaraus at Oropus).

Although Claudius had no intention of becoming Emperor, shortly after the Senate confirmed his status he embarked on several ambitious projects, one of which was the expansion of the Roman harbor at Ostia.
According to Suetonius, Claudius Drusus had just been betrothed to Junilla, the daughter of Sejanus, when he choked to death on a pear he had thrown into the air and caught in his mouth.

 Claudius - The New Augustus?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Claudius’ interpretation of Roman history seems to have led him to the notion that all members of the governing classes were to be best employed as tools of the state.
For Claudius too ‘colonisation’ and municipalisation were the two sides of the work of urbanising the empire, developing it as a single entity, and it was destined to have great importance for the social and political future of the Roman state.
Claudius brought to the business of government the historian’s habits of disturbing curiosity and inexorable precision, together with the lack of balance characteristic and the almost inevitable “clumsiness of the scholar who leaves his study and turns to action”.
