		Claudius did not enjoy the active public life for young men of his standing because he was unfortunate enough to have been born with defects.
		Claudius himself took part in the campaign, arriving in the war zone in the late summer of 43 A.D. After a parade at Camulodunum (Colchester) to impress the natives, he returned to Rome to celebrate a triumph in 44 A.D. He was now a soldier and conqueror.
		Claudius was given a poisoned mushroom, but he didn't die and had to be poisoned a second time before dying on 13 October 54 A.D. At noon that same day, the sixteen-year-old Nero was acclaimed emperor.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Claudius
		Claudius was remembered (negatively) by tradition as being noticeably profligate in dispensing grants of Roman citizenship to provincials; he also admitted "long-haired" Gauls into the senatorial order, to the displeasure of the snobbish incumbents.
		Claudius, then, is a more enigmatic figure than the other Julio-Claudian emperors: at once careful, intelligent, aware and respectful of tradition, but given to bouts of rage and cruelty, willing to sacrifice precedent to expediency, and utterly ruthless in his treatment of those who crossed him.
		Claudius may have suffered from cerebral palsy, but medical diagnoses in the absence of physical remains and at a distance of 2,000 years are not the soundest.

	BBC - History - Claudius I (10 BC - AD 54; Roman emperor AD 41 - 54)
		Claudius was the grandson of Livia (second wife of Augustus), grandson of Mark Antony and Octavia (sister of Augustus), and the brother of the popular Germanicus.
		Claudius and the senate never trusted each other after this, and the new emperor entrusted much of his administration to influential Greek freedmen of low social standing.
		Claudius is well known in English-speaking countries from Robert Graves' books I, Claudius and Claudius the God (both 1934) and from their successful TV adaptations (1976).

	The Emperors between Augustus and Trajan
		A.D. Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus, born in Gaul, became the third emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
		Claudius was not of Julius Caesar's lineage and so, according to traditional Roman naming conventions, would not have inherited the name of Caesar.
		Claudius showed a rather less kindly persona in his enjoyment of the execution of defeated gladiators, in conducting 'kangaroo courts', and in ruthlessly executing anyone who seemed a threat.

	Encyclopedia: I, Claudius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		I, Claudius is a novel by Robert Graves, (ISBN 067972477X) first published in 1934, dealing sympathetically with the life of the Roman Emperor Claudius and the history of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty and Roman Empire, from Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BC to Caligula's assassination in 41 AD.
		A statue of Emperor Claudius Tiberius Claudius Nero Caesar Drusus (August 1, 10 BC - October 13, 54), originally known as Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, was the fourth Roman Emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, ruling from January 24th 41 to his death in 54.
		Likewise, when the similarly-minded Claudius becomes emperor, he is convinced by Empress Messalina and Herod to preserve his powers, for much the same reason.

	Claudius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Tiberius Claudius Nero Caesar Drusus (August 1, 10 BC - October 13, 54), originally known as Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, was the fourth Roman Emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, ruling from January 24th 41 to his death in 54.
		Because he was proclaimed emperor on the initiative of the Prætorian Guard instead of the Senate – the first emperor thus proclaimed – Claudius's repute suffered at the hands of commentators (such as Seneca) with axes to grind.
		Nevertheless, his general approbation, in contrast to that of predecessors Tiberius and Caligula, is attested by his apotheosis and the raising of the temple to Divus Claudius, on the Caelian Hill in Rome, following his death.

		Claudius the God, sequel to I, Claudius, can't be as well-received as the former due to its very premise.
		With this insight, Claudius is soon appreciated by the reader as having a keen intellect as opposed to being dull and slow of wit.
		Claudius eventually realizes that the clever, witty, charming, light-hearted persona that Herod Agrippa presented to the royal court of the Julio-Claudians was in fact his shield and mask that hide his ambitions and aspirations.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Caligula
		Gaius was born on 31 August, A.D. 12, probably at the Julio-Claudian resort of Antium (modern Anzio), the third of six children born to Augustus's adopted grandson, Germanicus, and Augustus's granddaughter, Agrippina.
		Shortly before the fall of Tiberius's Praetorian Prefect, Sejanus, in A.D. 31 he was summoned to join Tiberius at his villa on Capri, where he remained until his accession in A.D. In the interim, his two brothers and his mother suffered demotion and, eventually, violent death.
		[[12]] The possible involvement of Claudius in the plot is assessed by B. Levick, Claudius (New Haven, 1990), 33-39.

		Graves was a passionate student of antiquity, both the Greeks and the Romans, and his goal in writing I, CLAUDIUS was to chronicle the period in Roman history immediately after the collapse of the republic and near the beginning of the rule of the Caesars.
		I, CLAUDIUS did not inspire a host of imitations among the other top fictional writers in the past century, but Graves did prove that it is a genre that still has potential to inspire, entertain, and educate.
		This, combined with "Claudius the God", is an intense historical fiction of the reigns of the Caesars from Augustus to the end of Claudius.

	Acts of Pilate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		According to him, Pontius Pilate informed the Emperor of the unjust sentence of death which he had pronounced against an innocent and divine person; the Emperor was so moved by his report of the miracles of Christ and his resurrection, that he proposed the reception of Christ among the gods of Rome.
		When the influence of Christianity was increasing rapidly in the Empire, one of the last pagan emperors, Maximin II, two years before the Edict of Milan, attempted to bring Christianity into disrepute by publishing what he alleged to be the true 'Acts of Pilate', representing the origins of Christianity in an unsavoury guise.
		Quasten writes: "The oldest piece of Christian Pilate literature seems to be 'The Report of Pilate to the Emperor Claudius', which is inserted in Greek into the late Acts of Peter and Paul and is given in Latin translation as an appendix of the Evangelium Nicodemi.
