He is said to have risen with the crowd after gladiatorial matches and given unrestrained praise to the fighters.
Soon after coming into power, Claudius instituted games to be held in honor of his father on the latter's birthday.
Annual games were also held in honor of his accession, and took place at the Praetorian camp where Claudius had first been proclaimed Emperor.
