That idiot Claudius…C-C-C-Claudius…Claudius the Stammerer, Claudius the Fool – even ‘poor Claudius’. He was the only one who did not want to be Emperor, yet he was the one who attained it. The sequel to I, Claudius, based on actual historical events and here fictionalised, details his emperorship, his marriages, the betrayal by his young and flighty wife Messalina, his marriage to Nero’s mother and his removal of his son Brittanicus from the harm he knew would come from his step-mother Agrippina. Graves brings the Roman Empire to three dimensional life.https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/i-claudius-robert-graves/
