Description

In infancy, Claudius lost his father. Throughout his childhood and youth, he suffered from prolonged illnesses, which so weakened him in mind and body that in his mature years many considered him incapable of any public or private affairs. His mother said he was a freak among men. Yet by a twist of fate, having become a Roman emperor, Claudius took the burden of power upon his shoulders and expanded the bounds of the empire. He ruled so wisely that, last of the Julio-Claudian line, he earned the title of the Divine.
