Caligula falls in love with Messalina, who Agrippina describes as "a cheap little trollop", but when she over hears a new plot to get rid of the deranged Emperor, she sets her lustful sights on Claudius instead, the next in line to rule.

 I, Claudius - Free net encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The message of the story appears to concern the relationship between liberty (as demonstrated by the Roman Republic, and the dedication to its ideals shown by Augustus and young Claudius) and stability (as demonstrated by Empress Livia, Herod Agrippa, and the elder Claudius).
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.
There also seems to be a subtle feminist message, in line with other works of Graves's: Julia, Livia, Drusilla, Messalina, and Agripinilla are quite obviously the powers behind their husbands, fathers, brothers, and/or sons; a good example being: whereas Augustus would have inadvertently caused civil war, Livia managed, via quiet manipulation, to preserve the peace.

Thus, in classic irony, it happens during the reign of the Emperor Claudius that while he is away at war with barbarians, his young wife has a contest with Rome's most celebrated "courtesan"(whore) to see who can have sexual relations with the most men in a single day.
I spoke to a friend last night about this whole trumped-up notion of Caesar's wife and how separated it was from the reality of human existence and the hubris of the powerful, guaranteed to lead to outrages of morality like that perpetrated by Claudius' Empress, Messalina.
