According to Suetonius, Claudius was extraordinarily fond of games.
He is said to have risen with the crowd after gladiatorial matches and given unrestrained praise to the fighters.
Claudius also presided over many new and original events.
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.
Claudius performed the Secular Games, marking the 800th anniversary of the founding of Rome.
Augustus had performed the same games less than a century prior.
Augustus ' excuse was that the interval for the games was 110 years, not 100, but his date actually did not qualify under either reasoning.
Claudius also presented naval battles to mark the attempted draining of the Fucine Lake, as well as many other public games and shows.
