Claudius ' infirmity probably saved him from the fate of many other nobles during the purges of Tiberius and Caligula's reigns ; potential enemies did not see him as a serious threat.

The attempted coup d ' etat by Silius and Messalina had probably made Claudius realize the weakness of his position as a member of the Claudian but not the Julian family.

The south-east of the island is now a Roman province, while certain states on the south coast are ruled as a nominally independent client kingdom by Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus, whose seat is probably at Fishbourne near Chichester.

Her long career has included many films and television programmes, but she is probably best known for starring as Livia in the popular BBC adaptation of Robert Graves's novel, I, Claudius ( BBC2, 1976 ), for which she won the 1977 BAFTA Television Award for Best Actress, and for many appearances on the original run of Call My Bluff.

Müller writes the poet's name as " Claudius Rutilius Namatianus ", instead of the usual Rutilius Claudius Namatianus ; but if the identification of the poet's father with the Claudius mentioned in the Codex Theodosianus be correct, Müller is probably wrong.

Quintus Curtius Rufus was a Roman historian, writing probably during the reign of the Emperor Claudius ( 41-54 AD ) or Vespasian ( 69-79 AD ).

The Roman names " Tiberius Claudius " indicate that he was given Roman citizenship by the emperor Claudius, or possibly by Nero, and probably not, as has been suggested, that he was related to Claudia Rufina, a woman of British descent whose marriage to Aulus Pudens in Rome in the 90s is mentioned by the poet Martial.

Perhaps under Claudius, the Treveri obtained the status of colonia and probably the Latin Right without actually being colonized by Roman veterans.

This outlandish claim probably derives from a confusion with the Roman conquest of 43 AD, when Claudius is supposed to have brought elephants to Britain.

He was probably a younger contemporary of Quintus Claudius Quadrigarius and lived in the times of Sulla although some scholars believe that he was a contemporary of Julius Caesar and wrote his work after 50 BC, because he seems to have been unknown to Cicero ( who especially does not mention him in his enumeration of famous historians ( de legibus 1. 2. 3-7 )).

In the first years of Claudius ’ reign, Claudius was married to the infamous Empress Valeria Messalina.

Agrippina and Claudius married on New Year ’ s Day, 49.

In 48, Messalina married her lover Gaius Silius in a public ceremony while Claudius was at Ostia.

Later he married Claudia Pulchra, daughter of Appius Claudius Pulcher.

He was born shortly after Livia divorced Tiberius Nero and married Augustus ( 17 January, 38 BC ), giving rise to rumours that Augustus was the real father, although this is widely discredited by modern historians as Augustus had not yet met Livia when Drusus would have been conceived ( During his reign, Claudius revived this rumor to give the impression that Augustus was his paternal grandfather in addition to being his maternal great-uncle ).

Before Augustus married Livia, Tiberius Claudius Nero was declared Drusus ' biological father.

Her father married her to Tiberius Claudius Nero, her cousin of patrician status who was fighting with him on the side of Julius Caesar's assassins against Octavian.
