	CLAUDIUS - LoveToKnow Article on CLAUDIUS
		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) - He wrote a work on augury, the first book of which he dedicated to Cicero.
		One of his clients, Marcus Claudius, swore that she was the child of a slave belonging to him, and had been stolen by the childless wife of the centurion.
		He holds that Claudius was never the leader of the patrician party, but a patrician demagogue who ended by becoming a tyrant to patricians as well as plebeians.

	Claudius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	I, Claudius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.

	Claudius
		Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus was born in Lugdunum (Lyon) in 10 BC, as the youngest son of Nero Drusus (Tiberius' brother) and of Antonia the younger (who was the daughter of Marc Antony and Octavia).
		Claudius was extremely surprised and appears to have been indecisive and confused as to what to do.
		So Claudius came to be the first Roman emperor in a line of many to follow who was not truly appointed by the senate, but by the army's men.

	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 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.
		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.

	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 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).
		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, at the time of his accession, was fifty years of age; and though he had hitherto lived apparently unambitious of public honours, accompanied with great ostentation, yet he was now seized with a desire to enjoy a triumph.
		With regard to the partiality for Claudius, it may be accounted for partly from the low habits of life to which he had been addicted, in consequence of which many of them were familiarly acquainted with him; and this circumstance likewise increased their hope of deriving some advantage from his accession.
		Claudius was born at Lyons, in the consulship of Julius Antonius, and Fabius Africanus, upon the first of August [469], the very day upon which an altar was first dedicated there to Augustus.

	Bible Study - Emperor Claudius
		Claudius was the fourth Roman emperor (see Ancient Empires - Rome, New Testament Roman Emperors and Emperor), after Augustus (who reigned at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ), Tiberius (who reigned at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ), and Caligula, who he succeeded 41 AD.
		Claudius survived a number of assassination attempts himself, which, along with the vivid memory of his predecessor's death, made him (quite justifiably) paranoid for his own safety.
		Claudius died on October 13, 54 AD from a meal of poison, or poisoned, mushrooms that Agrippina deliberately gave to him.

		Claudius was a man grounded in his cultural milieu.

	Amazon.com: I, Claudius : From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius, Born 10 B.C., Murdered and Deified A.D. 54 (Vintage International): Books: Robert Graves
		The novel is presented as an autobiography with Claudius narrating in the form of a "confidential" written history in which he reveals the "real scoop" of the years prior to his reign - not the expediential version of history usually documented by those afraid to be crucified...literally.
		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.
		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.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- I, CLAUDIUS
		Claudius (Derek Jacobi) was born with a clubfoot and stammered when he spoke, so his family thought him a fool, which kept him out of the line of succession.
		Claudius manages to survive Caligula’s bloody rein of terror, however he is horrified when he finds himself made emperor upon Caligula’s death.
		Of course, Claudius was far shrewder than his family believed him to be and endeavored to become a historian.
