No I havent read Robert Graves novels about Claudius, but I have read a lot about the roman emperors over the years, and it was one intersting gang of peopole who once ruled a big part of the world from Rome..

And I have the I claudius movie set, from the 1970s where old Claudius is one of the big stars so to say:P

But anyway, old Claudius was an smart man compared to many of the others who was on the roman throne. Just little silly when it came to shoosing his friends and allied.. And maybe little naive too.. And the roman politic was a brutal show..

Even after his death, the poor Claudius was up to ridacule and was something of a outcast for most of the emperors, who for the most just tok him out as a silly willy, even tho he migt did do more for romans than his peer ever wanted to give him credit for.
