Seine Position wurde auch dadurch labiler, dass Claudius keinen erwachsenen Erben hatte, denn Britannicus war noch ein Knabe. Aus Sicht der Verwaltung stellte er das Reich auf eine breitere personelle Basis und zentralisierte die Verwaltung um einen besseren Überblick über die Amtsträger zu haben. Jahre im Hintergrund. Wenn er aufgeregt war, lief seine Nase und er sabberte.Der Claudius-Biograph Vincent Scramuzza meint, Silius habe Messalina überzeugt, dass Claudius zum Scheitern verurteilt sei und dass die Verbindung ihre einzige Hoffnung sei, ihre Position zu halten und ihre Kinder zu schützen, [65] denn Agrippinas Bestrebungen, ihren Sohn Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus den späteren Nero , den einzigen Enkel des Germanicus, auf den Thron zu haben, seien schon zu diesem Zeitpunkt zu erkennen gewesen.
Claudius gab den Prätorianern das Versprechen, dass sie ihn umbringen dürften, wenn er jemals wieder heiraten würde. Trotz dieser Erklärung heiratete Claudius erneut.
Nachdem er kurz überlegt hatte, seine zweite Frau noch einmal zu ehelichen oder die kinderlose Lollia Paulina , die Witwe seines Vorgängers zu heiraten, fiel die Wahl auf Agrippina die Jüngere , die aufgrund ihrer weiblichen Reize Claudius für sich gewann.
Der Putsch des Silius machte durchaus die schwache Position des Claudius deutlich. Seine Position wurde auch dadurch labiler, dass Claudius keinen erwachsenen Erben hatte, denn Britannicus war noch ein Knabe.
Agrippina war die Urenkelin des Augustus und brachte mit ihrem elfjährigen Sohn einen weiteren Kaisernachfolger mit in die Ehe.
Dieser war einer der letzten männlichen Nachkommen der kaiserlichen Familie. Agrippina bekam Ehrenrechte und faktische Macht zuerkannt, wie keine Frau eines Princeps zuvor.
So erhielt sie den Namen Augusta , und ihr Porträt erschien auf römischen Reichsmünzen. Von Anfang an bereitete Agrippina zielstrebig die Thronfolge ihres Sohnes vor.
Durch die Zuerkennung politischer Rechte wurde er deutlich als Nachfolger hervorgehoben. Dieses Verhalten hatte Tradition in der römischen Monarchie.
Damit wurde die aus der Zeit der Republik stammende Tradition fortgeführt, einen Erwachsenen oder Heranwachsenden zu adoptieren, wenn kein natürlicher Erbe vorhanden war.
Claudius war die meiste Zeit seines Lebens schriftstellerisch tätig. Arnaldo Momigliano [72] erläutert, dass es während der Regentschaft des Tiberius, die den Höhepunkt der literarischen Tätigkeit des Claudius darstellte, politisch unklug war, über das republikanische Rom zu sprechen.
Jüngere Autoren neigten eher dazu, die neue Ordnung zu beschreiben oder über unklare altertümliche Themen zu schreiben.
Claudius war einer der wenigen Gelehrten, die beides abdeckten. In der modernen Forschung gibt es zahlreiche Vermutungen, warum Claudius sich gerade diese Themen ausgesucht hat.
Neben seinen schriftstellerischen Tätigkeiten plante er eine Reform des Lateinischen Alphabets durch Hinzufügung dreier neuer Buchstaben. Da das klassische Latein ohne Wortabstand geschrieben wurde, versuchte er, die alte Sitte des Setzens von Punkten zwischen den Wörtern wieder einzuführen.
Der Verlust der Erkenntnisse, die die Werke des Claudius enthalten haben müssen, wird zu den schwersten Verlusten in der antiken Geschichtsschreibung gezählt.
Plinius der Ältere , der ihn öfters zitiert, reiht ihn unter die bedeutendsten Gelehrten seiner Zeit ein. Oktober Allerdings unterscheiden sich die Darstellungen über den konkreten Vorgang sehr stark.
Dieser soll bestochen worden sein und den Kaiser daraufhin mit einer Pfauenfeder, an deren Spitze sich Gift befand, getötet haben.
Möglicherweise war, so Tacitus, die berüchtigte Giftmischerin Lucusta an der Vergiftung des Claudius beteiligt. Seneca verfasste mit der Apocolocyntosis eine Satire auf den Tod des Kaisers Claudius, worin er ihm als Letzte Worte den Ausspruch: vae me, puto, concacavi me!
Ungeklärte Todesfälle von Herrschern zogen fast immer unbestätigte Mordgerüchte nach sich. Im Fall von Claudius weisen die meisten Traditionen die Gemeinsamkeit auf, dass seine dritte und letzte Ehefrau Agrippina beschuldigt wird, die Vergiftung im Namen Neros angestiftet zu haben.
Agrippina und Claudius bekämpften sich laut diesen Quellen heimlich in den letzten Monaten vor dessen Tod. Claudius begann angeblich schon, die Ehe mit Agrippina sogar öffentlich zu bereuen und somit den heranwachsenden Britannicus, welcher noch der Ehe mit Messalina entstammte, hinsichtlich der Nachfolgefrage verstärkt zu berücksichtigen.
Sie bezweifeln die Existenz von Mordmotiv und Komplott und gehen von einem natürlichen Tod oder einem Unfall aus ein giftiger Pilz sei versehentlich ins Essen geraten.
Er habe Britannicus im Unterschied zu Nero nie jene Würden verliehen, die ihn als Nachfolger gekennzeichnet hätten, obwohl er alt genug dafür gewesen wäre.
Die Mordgerüchte seien daher erst im Nachhinein entstanden, als Nero längst als schlechter Kaiser galt, dem man die Beseitigung seines Vorgängers andichtete.
Nero wurde sein Nachfolger. Oktober im Augustusmausoleum beigesetzt. Von den weniger treuen Anhängern des Claudius gingen viele schnell in das Lager Neros über.
Nero kritisierte häufig den verstorbenen Kaiser und missachtete viele Beschlüsse und Verfügungen des Claudius mit der Begründung, Claudius sei irre gewesen.
Ein für den vergöttlichten Claudius vorgesehener Tempel wurde von Nero nicht vollendet und nach dem Tod seiner Mutter praktisch zerstört.
Die Baustelle wurde als Verteilerstation für das von Claudius initiierte Aquäduktsystem weiter genutzt. Als die Flavier jedoch ihre Herrschaft gefestigt hatten, hoben sie ihre eigenen Verdienste hervor, ohne sich mehr an Claudius anzulehnen.
Später haben noch Titus , Domitian und Trajan das Andenken wohl weniger des Claudius selbst als seiner Regierung durch Münzen aufgefrischt.
Alle drei waren Senatoren oder Ritter. Die antiken Historiker übernahmen in den Konflikten zwischen dem Senat und dem Princeps oftmals die Position des Senats.
Sueton beschreibt Claudius als eine lächerliche Person, setzte viele seiner Taten herab und wies die guten Taten des Kaisers seinem Gefolge zu.
Cassius Dio war als späterer Historiker weniger voreingenommen, scheint aber Sueton und Tacitus als Quellen benutzt zu haben.
So blieb lange Zeit die Meinung über Claudius als eines Vollidioten bestehen, der von denen gesteuert wurde, die er angeblich beherrschte.
Seine Bücher gingen verloren, sobald ihre altertümlichen Themen an Beliebtheit verloren. Am Ende des 2. Jahrhunderts überschattete der Geburtstag von Kaiser Pertinax , der seinen Geburtstag mit Claudius teilte, jede Erinnerungsfeier an Claudius.
Jahrhundert gab es dann einen weiteren Kaiser seines Namens, Claudius Gothicus bis So geriet Claudius am Ende des dritten Jahrhunderts weitgehend in Vergessenheit.
Bereits im Ihre Anführerin war seine Gattin, Messalina, deren Name fast schon ein Gemeinplatz für verdorbene Charaktere geworden ist.
Dieses relativ einhellige Urteil der älteren Geschichtsschreibung spiegelt sich auch in den Claudius-Dramen der Renaissance -Zeit wider.
Bereits der elisabethanische Dramatiker William Shakespeare — , der die antiken Kaiserbiographien im lateinischen Original las, gestaltet den Charakter des Polonius im Hamlet frei nach Charakterzügen von Kaiser Claudius.
Dies wird besonders deutlich in jener Szene im Schlafgemach der Königin, wo Polonius sich hinter einem Vorhang verbirgt und von Hamlet erdolcht wird, der ihn mit dem König Claudius verwechselt Is it the king?
Beide Bücher sind in der ersten Person verfasst, um dem Leser den Eindruck zu vermitteln, es handele sich um eine Autobiografie.
Graves setzte fiktionale Elemente ein, indem er angibt, dass kürzlich Übersetzungen der Schriften des Claudius entdeckt worden seien.
Das Orakel prophezeit, dass das Schriftstück fast Jahre später wiederentdeckt werden wird. Für die Rolle des römischen Kaisers war Charles Laughton vorgesehen.
Wegen eines schweren Unfalls der Hauptdarstellerin Merle Oberon wurde der Film allerdings nie abgeschlossen. Neben den Verfilmungen der Bücher von Graves gab es noch zahlreiche andere filmische Bearbeitungen.
Gore Vidal schrieb das Drehbuch. Die Rolle des Claudius spielte hier Giancarlo Badessi. Im Gegensatz zu den Büchern von Graves wird Claudius den nicht wohlwollenden antiken Quellen folgend deutlich als minderbemittelt dargestellt.
Daneben ist Claudius eine Nebenfigur in den zahlreichen Romanen, die von seinen Ehefrauen Messalina und Agrippina handeln.
Das Urteil in der Forschung über den spezifischen Charakter der Regierungszeit des Claudius ist keineswegs einheitlich.
Bei aller Divergenz der Forschung ist man sich dennoch darüber einig, dass mit Claudius ein Neubeginn oder zumindest eine doch ganz wesentliche Weiterentwicklung in der Administration des römischen Reiches festzustellen sei.
Unschlüssig ist man sich allerdings darüber, ob diese Veränderungen Claudius selbst oder eher der Initiative seiner Freigelassenen zuzuschreiben sind.
Die Herrschaft der Freigelassenen des Claudius war für ihn eine der besten, die das Römische Reich erlebt hatte. Knapp wird er auch in den diversen spätantiken Breviarien behandelt.
In seinem Werk Apocolocyntosis , das als Menippeische Satire angelegt ist, greift Seneca den kürzlich Verstorbenen an, wahrscheinlich um sich für das unter seiner Regierung erlittene Unrecht zu rächen.

Römischer Kaiser 41— However, he did not see the same success in Egypt, for a Palmyrene underground, led by Timagenes , undermined Probus, defeated his army, and killed him in a battle near the modern city of Cairo in the late summer of Generally, when a Roman commander is slaughtered it is taken as a sign that a state of war is in existence, and if we can associate the death of Heraclianus in , as well as an inscription from Bostra recording the rebuilding of a temple destroyed by the Palmyrene army, then these violent acts could be interpreted the same way.
Yet they apparently were not. As David Potter writes, "The coins of Vaballathus avoid claims to imperial power: he remains vir consularis, rex, imperator, dux Romanorum, a range of titles that did not mimic those of the central government.
The status vir consularis was, as we have seen, conferred upon Odaenathus ; the title rex, or king, is simply a Latin translation of mlk , or king; imperator in this context simply means "victorious general"; and dux Romanorum looks like yet another version of corrector totius orientis" Potter, These titles suggest that Odaenathus' position was inheritable.
In Roman culture, the status gained in procuring a position could be passed on, but not the position itself.
It is possible that the thin line between office and the status that accompanied it were dismissed in the Palmyrene court, especially when the circumstance worked against the interests of a regime that was able to defeat Persia , which a number of Roman emperors had failed to do.
Vaballathus stressed the meanings of titles, because in the Palmyrene context, the titles of Odaenathus meant a great deal. When the summer of ended, things were looking very different in the empire than they did a year before.
After its success, Gaul was in a state of inactivity and the empire was failing in the east. Insufficient resources plagued the state, as a great deal of silver was used for the antoninianus , which was again diluted.
A large number of rare gold coins of Claudius have been discovered as part of the Lava Treasure in Corsica, France, in the s.
Hinting that Claudius "revived the tradition of the Decii", Victor illustrates the senatorial view, which saw Claudius' predecessor, Gallienus , as too relaxed when it came to religious policies.
The unreliable Historia Augusta reports Claudius and Quintillus having another brother named Crispus and through him a niece, Claudia, who reportedly married Eutropius and was mother to Constantius Chlorus.
Contemporary records of his deeds were most probably destroyed during the Diocletianic Persecution in early 4th century [35] and a tale of martyrdom was recorded in Passio Marii et Marthae , a work published in the 5th or 6th century.
The legend was retold in later texts, and in the Nuremberg Chronicle of AD, involved the Roman priest being martyred during a general persecution of Christians.
The text states that St. Valentine was beaten with clubs and finally beheaded for giving aid to Christians in Rome.
Valentine refused to deny Christ before the "Emperor Claudius" in AD and as a result was beheaded. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

At that time this military tribune was usually the commander of a legionary cohort or an ala of auxiliary cavalry. For Claudius to have been demoted to this level from the heights he had previous occupied Hipparchos of the Cavalry and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Armies would suggest a serious rift between himself and Gallienus.
It is possible, but there is no evidence for it in any of the ancient sources; even Zosimus, who is notably cool towards Claudius, gives no hint of it.
The most likely explanation for the suggestion is that the author of the Historia Augusta , writing in the Fourth Century AD after the Constantinian reform of the army, had no notion what the term 'tribune' denoted in the seventh decade of the previous century.

Claudius' extant works present a different view, painting a picture of an intelligent, scholarly, well-read, and conscientious administrator with an eye to detail and justice.
Thus, Claudius becomes an enigma. Since the discovery of his "Letter to the Alexandrians" in the last century, much work has been done to rehabilitate Claudius and determine where the truth lies.
Claudius wrote copiously throughout his life. The trend among the young historians was to either write about the new empire or obscure antiquarian subjects.
Claudius was the rare scholar who covered both. Besides the history of Augustus' reign that caused him so much grief, his major works included Tyrrhenica , a twenty-book Etruscan history, and Carchedonica , an eight-volume history of Carthage , [76] as well as an Etruscan dictionary.
He also wrote a book on dice-playing. Despite the general avoidance of the Republican era, he penned a defense of Cicero against the charges of Asinius Gallus.
Modern historians have used this to determine the nature of his politics and of the aborted chapters of his civil war history.
He proposed a reform of the Latin alphabet by the addition of three new letters. He officially instituted the change during his censorship but they did not survive his reign.
Claudius also tried to revive the old custom of putting dots between successive words Classical Latin was written with no spacing.
Finally, he wrote an eight-volume autobiography that Suetonius describes as lacking in taste. None of the works survive but live on as sources for the surviving histories of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
Suetonius quotes Claudius' autobiography once and must have used it as a source numerous times. Tacitus uses Claudius' arguments for the orthographical innovations mentioned above and may have used him for some of the more antiquarian passages in his annals.
Claudius is the source for numerous passages of Pliny's Natural History. The influence of historical study on Claudius is obvious.
In his speech on Gallic senators, he uses a version of the founding of Rome identical to that of Livy, his tutor in adolescence.
The speech is meticulous in details, a common mark of all his extant works, and he goes into long digressions on related matters.
Levick believes this emulation of Caesar may have spread to all aspects of his policies. His censorship seems to have been based on those of his ancestors, particularly Appius Claudius Caecus , and he used the office to put into place many policies based on those of Republican times.
This is when many of his religious reforms took effect, and his building efforts greatly increased during his tenure.
In fact, his assumption of the office of Censor may have been motivated by a desire to see his academic labors bear fruit. For example, he believed as most Romans did that Caecus had used the censorship to introduce the letter "R" [81] and so used his own term to introduce his new letters.
The consensus of ancient historians was that Claudius was murdered by poison—possibly contained in mushrooms or on a feather—and died in the early hours of 13 October Nearly all implicate his final and powerful wife, Agrippina , as the instigator.
Agrippina and Claudius had become more combative in the months leading up to his death. This carried on to the point where Claudius openly lamented his bad wives, and began to comment on Britannicus ' approaching manhood with an eye towards restoring his status within the imperial family.
Some implicate either his taster Halotus , his doctor Xenophon , or the infamous poisoner Locusta as the administrator of the fatal substance.
Some historians have cast doubt on whether Claudius was murdered or merely succumbed to illness or old age. On the other hand, some modern scholars claim the near universality of the accusations in ancient texts lends credence to the crime.
Already, while alive, he received the widespread private worship of a living princeps [89] and was worshipped in Britannia in his own temple in Camulodunum.
Claudius was deified by Nero and the Senate almost immediately. Agrippina had sent away Narcissus shortly before Claudius' death, and now murdered the freedman.
The last act of this secretary of letters was to burn all of Claudius' correspondence—most likely so it could not be used against him and others in an already hostile new regime.
Thus Claudius' private words about his own policies and motives were lost to history. Just as Claudius had criticized his predecessors in official edicts see below , Nero often criticized the deceased Emperor and many of Claudius' laws and edicts were disregarded under the reasoning that he was too stupid and senile to have meant them.
Seneca 's Apocolocyntosis mocks the deification of Claudius and reinforces the view of Claudius as an unpleasant fool; this remained the official view for the duration of Nero's reign.
Eventually Nero stopped referring to his deified adoptive father at all, and realigned with his birth family. Claudius' temple was left unfinished after only some of the foundation had been laid down.
Eventually the site was overtaken by Nero's Golden House. The Flavians , who had risen to prominence under Claudius, took a different tack. They were in a position where they needed to shore up their legitimacy, but also justify the fall of the Julio-Claudians.
They reached back to Claudius in contrast with Nero, to show that they were good associated with good. Commemorative coins were issued of Claudius and his son Britannicus , who had been a friend of the Emperor Titus Titus was born in 39, Britannicus was born in However, as the Flavians became established, they needed to emphasize their own credentials more, and their references to Claudius ceased.
Instead, he was lumped with the other emperors of the fallen dynasty. His state cult in Rome probably continued until the abolition of all such cults of dead Emperors by Maximinus Thrax in — The main ancient historians Tacitus , Suetonius , and Cassius Dio all wrote after the last of the Flavians had gone.
All three were senators or equites. They took the side of the Senate in most conflicts with the Princeps, invariably viewing him as being in the wrong.
This resulted in biases, both conscious and unconscious. Suetonius lost access to the official archives shortly after beginning his work.
He was forced to rely on second-hand accounts when it came to Claudius with the exception of Augustus' letters, which had been gathered earlier.
Suetonius painted Claudius as a ridiculous figure, belittling many of his acts and attributing the objectively good works to his retinue.
Tacitus wrote a narrative for his fellow senators and fitted each of the emperors into a simple mold of his choosing.
During his censorship of 47—48 Tacitus allows the reader a glimpse of a Claudius who is more statesmanlike XI. Tacitus is usually held to have 'hidden' his use of Claudius' writings and to have omitted Claudius' character from his works.
Dio was less biased, but seems to have used Suetonius and Tacitus as sources. Thus the conception of Claudius as the weak fool, controlled by those he supposedly ruled, was preserved for the ages.
As time passed, Claudius was mostly forgotten outside of the historians' accounts. His books were lost first, as their antiquarian subjects became unfashionable.
In the 2nd century, Pertinax , who shared his birthday, became emperor, overshadowing commemoration of Claudius. In literature, Claudius and his contemporaries appear in the historical novel The Roman by Mika Waltari.

Der Eroberer Britanniens I Kaiser ClaudiusKaiser Claudius Inhaltsverzeichnis
Trotz dieser Erklärung heiratete Claudius erneut. Plinius der Ältereder ihn öfters zitiert, reiht ihn unter die bedeutendsten Gelehrten seiner Zeit ein. Germanys Next Topmodel 2019 Umstyling 41 wurde Caligula im Rahmen einer umfassenden Verschwörung, in die Kaiser Claudius Prätorianer Cassius Chaerea und Tv Today Jetzt Senatoren verwickelt waren, umgebracht. Mit ihr hatte er die Tochter Claudia Antonia. In Alexandria herrschte eine politisch sehr angespannte Situation. Diese Prätorianer versicherten ihm, dass sie nicht eines Hurt Bataillone seien, die Rache suchten. An diesem Punkt stellt sich die Frage, warum die Juden überhaupt so viele Privilegien erhalten haben. Später haben noch TitusDomitian und Trajan das Andenken wohl weniger des Claudius selbst als seiner Regierung durch Münzen aufgefrischt. Aber die Druiden waren auch die ideologischen Träger des Aufruhrs.Late in he had traveled to Sirmium [13] and was preparing to go to war against the Vandals , who were raiding in Pannonia. Claudius was not the only man to reap the benefits of holding high office after the death of Gallienus.
Before the rule of Claudius Gothicus, there had only been two emperors from the Balkans , but afterwards there would only be one emperor who did not hail from the provinces of Pannonia , Moesia or Illyricum until the year , when Theodosius I from Hispania would take the throne.
To comprehend the structure of government during the reign of Claudius, we must look at four inscriptions that deepen our understanding of a new, truncated empire.
The first is a dedication to Aurelius Heraclianus , the prefect involved in the conspiracy against Gallienus, from Traianus Mucianus, who also gave a dedication to Heraclianus ' brother, Aurelius Appollinaris, who was the equestrian governor of the province of Thracia in AD.
The third inscription reveals the career of Marcianus , another leading general by the time that Gallienus died.
The fourth honors Julius Placidianus, the prefect of the vigiles. While we cannot prove that Heraclianus, Appollinaris, Placidianus , or Marcianus were of Danubian origin themselves, it is clear that none of them were members of the Severan aristocracy, and all of them appear to owe their prominence to their military roles.
To those men must be added Marcus Aurelius Probus another emperor in waiting , also of Balkan background, and from a family enfranchised in the time of Caracalla.
Although we see a rise in Pannonian, Moesian and Illyrian marshals, and foreigners become notable figures, it would be impractical to think the government could function without help from the traditional classes within the empire.
Although their influence was weakened, there were still a number of men with influence from the older aristocracy. Claudius assumed the consulship in with Paternus , a member of the prominent senatorial family, the Paterni, who had supplied consuls and urban prefects throughout Gallienus' reign, and thus were quite influential.
In addition, Flavius Antiochianus , one of the consuls of , who was an urban prefect the year before, would continue to hold his office for the following year.
A colleague of Antiochianus, Virius Orfitus, also the descendant of a powerful family, would continue to hold influence during his father's term as prefect.
Aurelian's colleague as consul was another such man, Pomponius Bassus, a member of one of the oldest senatorial families, as was one of the consuls in , Junius Veldumnianus.
In his first full year of power, Claudius was greatly assisted by the sudden destruction of the imperium Galliarum. When Ulpius Cornelius Laelianus, a high official under Postumus , declared himself emperor in Germania Superior , in the spring of , Postumus defeated him, but in doing so, refused to allow the sack of Mainz , which had served as Laelianus ' headquarters.
This proved to be his downfall, for out of anger, Postumus' army mutinied and murdered him. Selected by the troops, Marcus Aurelius Marius was to replace Postumus as ruler.
Marius' rule did not last long though, as Victorinus , Postumus' praetorian prefect, defeated him. Now emperor of the Gauls , Victorinus was soon in a precarious position, for the Spanish provinces had deserted the Gallic Empire and declared their loyalty to Claudius, while in southern France , Placidianus had captured Grenoble.
Luckily, it was there that Placidianus stopped and Victorinus' position stabilized. In the next year, when Autun revolted, declaring itself for Claudius, the central government made no moves to support it.
As a result, the city went through a siege, lasting many weeks, until it was finally captured and sacked by Victorinus.
It is still unknown why Claudius did nothing to help the city of Autun, but sources tell us his relations with Palmyra were waning in the course of An obscure passage in the Historia Augusta ' s life of Gallienus states that he had sent an army under Aurelius Heraclianus to the region that had been annihilated by Zenobia.
But because Heraclianus was not actually in the east in instead, at this time, he was involved in the conspiracy of Gallienus' death , we can see that this can not be correct.
But the confusion evident in this passage, which also places the bulk of Scythian activity during a year earlier, under Gallienus, may stem from a later effort to pile all possible disasters in this year into the reign of the former Emperor.
This would keep Claudius' record of being an ancestor of Constantine from being tainted. If this understanding of the sources is correct, it might also be correct to see the expedition of Heraclianus to the east as an event of Claudius' time.
The victories of Claudius over the Goths would not only make him a hero in Latin tradition, but an admirable choice as an ancestor for Constantine I , who was born at Naissus , the site of Claudius' victory in Claudius is also held in high esteem by Zonaras , whose Greek tradition seems to have been influenced by Latin.
For Zosimus , a more reasoned contemporary view shows Claudius as less grand. Claudius' successes in the year were not continued in his next year as Emperor.
As the Scythians starved in the mountains or surrendered, the legions pursuing them began to see an epidemic spreading throughout the men. Also, Claudius' unwillingness to do anything at the siege of Autun likely provoked a quarrel with Zenobia.
Although it is not proven that the invasion of Gaul was the breaking point between Claudius and Zenobia, the sequence of events point to the siege as an important factor.
The issue at hand was the position that Odaenathus held as corrector totius orientis imparting overall command of the Roman armies and authority over the Roman provincial governors in the designated region.
Vaballathus , the son of Zenobia, was given this title when Zenobia claimed it for him. From then on, tension between the two empires would only get worse.
Aurelius Heraclianus ' fabled arrival might have been an effort to reassert central control after the death of Odaenathus, but, if so, it failed.
Although coins were never minted with the face of Odaenathus, [30] soon after his death coins were made with image of his son [31] — outstripping his authority under the emperor.
Under Zabdas , a Palmyrene army invaded Arabia and moved into Egypt in the late summer. At this time, the prefect of Egypt was Tenagino Probus, described as an able soldier who not only defeated an invasion of Cyrenaica by the nomadic tribes to the south in , but also was successful in hunting down Scythian ships in the Mediterranean.
However, he did not see the same success in Egypt, for a Palmyrene underground, led by Timagenes , undermined Probus, defeated his army, and killed him in a battle near the modern city of Cairo in the late summer of Generally, when a Roman commander is slaughtered it is taken as a sign that a state of war is in existence, and if we can associate the death of Heraclianus in , as well as an inscription from Bostra recording the rebuilding of a temple destroyed by the Palmyrene army, then these violent acts could be interpreted the same way.
Yet they apparently were not. As David Potter writes, "The coins of Vaballathus avoid claims to imperial power: he remains vir consularis, rex, imperator, dux Romanorum, a range of titles that did not mimic those of the central government.
The status vir consularis was, as we have seen, conferred upon Odaenathus ; the title rex, or king, is simply a Latin translation of mlk , or king; imperator in this context simply means "victorious general"; and dux Romanorum looks like yet another version of corrector totius orientis" Potter, These titles suggest that Odaenathus' position was inheritable.
In Roman culture, the status gained in procuring a position could be passed on, but not the position itself. It is possible that the thin line between office and the status that accompanied it were dismissed in the Palmyrene court, especially when the circumstance worked against the interests of a regime that was able to defeat Persia , which a number of Roman emperors had failed to do.
Vaballathus stressed the meanings of titles, because in the Palmyrene context, the titles of Odaenathus meant a great deal.
When the summer of ended, things were looking very different in the empire than they did a year before. After its success, Gaul was in a state of inactivity and the empire was failing in the east.
Insufficient resources plagued the state, as a great deal of silver was used for the antoninianus , which was again diluted.
A large number of rare gold coins of Claudius have been discovered as part of the Lava Treasure in Corsica, France, in the s.
Hinting that Claudius "revived the tradition of the Decii", Victor illustrates the senatorial view, which saw Claudius' predecessor, Gallienus , as too relaxed when it came to religious policies.
The unreliable Historia Augusta reports Claudius and Quintillus having another brother named Crispus and through him a niece, Claudia, who reportedly married Eutropius and was mother to Constantius Chlorus.
Contemporary records of his deeds were most probably destroyed during the Diocletianic Persecution in early 4th century [35] and a tale of martyrdom was recorded in Passio Marii et Marthae , a work published in the 5th or 6th century.
The legend was retold in later texts, and in the Nuremberg Chronicle of AD, involved the Roman priest being martyred during a general persecution of Christians.
The text states that St. Valentine was beaten with clubs and finally beheaded for giving aid to Christians in Rome. Valentine refused to deny Christ before the "Emperor Claudius" in AD and as a result was beheaded.

An Online Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors. Archived from the original on 25 August Oxford University Press. It is in fact doubtful that Claudius was a military tribune at the time of Gallienus's murder.
At that time this military tribune was usually the commander of a legionary cohort or an ala of auxiliary cavalry. For Claudius to have been demoted to this level from the heights he had previous occupied Hipparchos of the Cavalry and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Armies would suggest a serious rift between himself and Gallienus.
It is possible, but there is no evidence for it in any of the ancient sources; even Zosimus, who is notably cool towards Claudius, gives no hint of it.
The most likely explanation for the suggestion is that the author of the Historia Augusta , writing in the Fourth Century AD after the Constantinian reform of the army, had no notion what the term 'tribune' denoted in the seventh decade of the previous century.
He restored lost days to festivals and got rid of many extraneous celebrations added by Caligula. He re-instituted old observances and archaic language.
Claudius was concerned with the spread of eastern mysteries within the city and searched for more Roman replacements. He emphasized the Eleusinian mysteries which had been practiced by so many during the Republic.
He expelled foreign astrologers, and at the same time rehabilitated the old Roman soothsayers known as haruspices as a replacement.
He was especially hard on Druidism , because of its incompatibility with the Roman state religion and its proselytizing activities. Claudius forbade proselytizing in any religion, even in those regions where he allowed natives to worship freely.
It is also reported that at one time he expelled the Jews from Rome , probably because the Jews within the city caused continuous disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus.
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.
Soon after coming into power, Claudius instituted games to be held in honor of his father on the latter's birthday. Claudius organised a performance of the Secular Games , marking the th 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 years, not , but his date actually did not qualify under either reasoning.
At Ostia, in front of a crowd of spectators, Claudius fought a killer whale which was trapped in the harbour. The event was witnessed by Pliny the Elder :.
A killer whale was actually seen in the harbour of Ostia, locked in combat with the emperor Claudius. She had come when he was completing the construction of the harbour, drawn there by the wreck of a ship bringing leather hides from Gaul, and feeding there over a number of days, had made a furrow in the shallows: the waves had raised up such a mound of sand that she couldn't turn around at all, and while she was pursuing her banquet as the waves moved it shorewards, her back stuck up out of the water like the overturned keel of a boat.
The Emperor ordered that a large array of nets be stretched across the mouths of the harbour, and setting out in person with the Praetorian cohorts gave a show to the Roman people, soldiers showering lances from attacking ships, one of which I saw swamped by the beast's waterspout and sunk.
Claudius also restored and adorned many public venues in Rome. At the Circus Maximus , the turning posts and starting stalls were replaced in marble and embellished, and an embankment was probably added to prevent flooding of the track.
Suetonius and the other ancient authors accused Claudius of being dominated by women and wives, and of being a womanizer. Claudius married four times, after two failed betrothals.
The first betrothal was to his distant cousin Aemilia Lepida , but was broken for political reasons. The second was to Livia Medullina Camilla , which ended with Medullina's sudden death on their wedding day.
Plautia Urgulanilla was the granddaughter of Livia's confidant Urgulania. During their marriage she gave birth to a son, Claudius Drusus.
Drusus died of asphyxiation in his early teens, shortly after becoming engaged to Junilla, the daughter of Sejanus.
Claudius later divorced Urgulanilla for adultery and on suspicion of murdering her sister-in-law Apronia.
When Urgulanilla gave birth after the divorce, Claudius repudiated the baby girl, Claudia, as the father was allegedly one of his own freedmen.
This action made him later the target of criticism by his enemies. Soon after possibly in 28 , Claudius married Aelia Paetina , a relative of Sejanus, if not Sejanus's adoptive sister.
During their marriage, Claudius and Paetina had a daughter, Claudia Antonia. He later divorced her after the marriage became a political liability, although Leon suggests it may have been due to emotional and mental abuse by Paetina.
Some years after divorcing Aelia Paetina, in 38 or early 39, Claudius married Valeria Messalina , who was his first cousin once removed and closely allied with Caligula's circle.
Shortly thereafter, she gave birth to a daughter, Claudia Octavia. A son, first named Tiberius Claudius Germanicus, and later known as Britannicus , was born just after Claudius' accession.
This marriage ended in tragedy. The ancient historians allege that Messalina was a nymphomaniac who was regularly unfaithful to Claudius— Tacitus states she went so far as to compete with a prostitute to see who could have the most sexual partners in a night [50] —and manipulated his policies in order to amass wealth.
Sources disagree as to whether or not she divorced the Emperor first, and whether the intention was to usurp the throne. Under Roman law, the spouse needed to be informed that he or she had been divorced before a new marriage could take place; the sources state that Claudius was in total ignorance until after the marriage.
Claudius did marry once more. The ancient sources tell that his freedmen put forward three candidates, Caligula 's third wife Lollia Paulina , Claudius's divorced second wife Aelia Paetina and Claudius's niece Agrippina the Younger.
According to Suetonius, Agrippina won out through her feminine wiles. She gradually seized power from Emperor Claudius and successfully conspired to eliminate his son's rivals and she was able to successfully open the way for her son to become emperor.
The truth is probably more political. This weakness was compounded by the fact that he did not yet have an obvious adult heir, Britannicus being just a boy.
Agrippina was one of the few remaining descendants of Augustus, and her son Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus the future Emperor Nero was one of the last males of the Imperial family.
Coup attempts could rally around the pair and Agrippina was already showing such ambition. It has been suggested that the Senate may have pushed for the marriage, to end the feud between the Julian and Claudian branches.
In any case, Claudius accepted Agrippina and later adopted the newly mature Nero as his son. Nero was married to Claudius' daughter Octavia, made joint heir with the underage Britannicus , and promoted; Augustus had similarly named his grandson Postumus Agrippa and his stepson Tiberius as joint heirs, [59] and Tiberius had named Caligula joint heir with his grandson Tiberius Gemellus.
Adoption of adults or near adults was an old tradition in Rome, when a suitable natural adult heir was unavailable as was the case during Britannicus' minority.
Claudius may have previously looked to adopt one of his sons-in-law to protect his own reign. Besides which, he was the half-brother of Valeria Messalina and at this time those wounds were still fresh.
Nero was more popular with the general public as the grandson of Germanicus and the direct descendant of Augustus.
The historian Suetonius describes the physical manifestations of Claudius' affliction in relatively good detail.
He stammered and his speech was confused. He slobbered and his nose ran when he was excited. The Stoic Seneca states in his Apocolocyntosis that Claudius' voice belonged to no land animal, and that his hands were weak as well.
However, he showed no physical deformity, as Suetonius notes that when calm and seated he was a tall, well-built figure of dignitas.
Historians agree that this condition improved upon his accession to the throne. Modern assessments of his health have changed several times in the past century.
Prior to World War II , infantile paralysis or polio was widely accepted as the cause. This is the diagnosis used in Robert Graves ' Claudius novels , first published in the s.
Polio does not explain many of the described symptoms, however, and a more recent theory implicates cerebral palsy as the cause, as outlined by Ernestine Leon.
As a person, ancient historians described Claudius as generous and lowbrow, a man who sometimes lunched with the plebeians. Claudius' extant works present a different view, painting a picture of an intelligent, scholarly, well-read, and conscientious administrator with an eye to detail and justice.
Thus, Claudius becomes an enigma. Since the discovery of his "Letter to the Alexandrians" in the last century, much work has been done to rehabilitate Claudius and determine where the truth lies.
Claudius wrote copiously throughout his life. The trend among the young historians was to either write about the new empire or obscure antiquarian subjects.
Claudius was the rare scholar who covered both. Besides the history of Augustus' reign that caused him so much grief, his major works included Tyrrhenica , a twenty-book Etruscan history, and Carchedonica , an eight-volume history of Carthage , [76] as well as an Etruscan dictionary.
He also wrote a book on dice-playing. Despite the general avoidance of the Republican era, he penned a defense of Cicero against the charges of Asinius Gallus.
Modern historians have used this to determine the nature of his politics and of the aborted chapters of his civil war history. He proposed a reform of the Latin alphabet by the addition of three new letters.
He officially instituted the change during his censorship but they did not survive his reign. Claudius also tried to revive the old custom of putting dots between successive words Classical Latin was written with no spacing.
Finally, he wrote an eight-volume autobiography that Suetonius describes as lacking in taste. None of the works survive but live on as sources for the surviving histories of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
Suetonius quotes Claudius' autobiography once and must have used it as a source numerous times. Tacitus uses Claudius' arguments for the orthographical innovations mentioned above and may have used him for some of the more antiquarian passages in his annals.
Claudius is the source for numerous passages of Pliny's Natural History. The influence of historical study on Claudius is obvious.
In his speech on Gallic senators, he uses a version of the founding of Rome identical to that of Livy, his tutor in adolescence. The speech is meticulous in details, a common mark of all his extant works, and he goes into long digressions on related matters.
Levick believes this emulation of Caesar may have spread to all aspects of his policies. His censorship seems to have been based on those of his ancestors, particularly Appius Claudius Caecus , and he used the office to put into place many policies based on those of Republican times.
This is when many of his religious reforms took effect, and his building efforts greatly increased during his tenure.
In fact, his assumption of the office of Censor may have been motivated by a desire to see his academic labors bear fruit.
For example, he believed as most Romans did that Caecus had used the censorship to introduce the letter "R" [81] and so used his own term to introduce his new letters.
The consensus of ancient historians was that Claudius was murdered by poison—possibly contained in mushrooms or on a feather—and died in the early hours of 13 October Nearly all implicate his final and powerful wife, Agrippina , as the instigator.
Agrippina and Claudius had become more combative in the months leading up to his death. This carried on to the point where Claudius openly lamented his bad wives, and began to comment on Britannicus ' approaching manhood with an eye towards restoring his status within the imperial family.
Some implicate either his taster Halotus , his doctor Xenophon , or the infamous poisoner Locusta as the administrator of the fatal substance.
Some historians have cast doubt on whether Claudius was murdered or merely succumbed to illness or old age. On the other hand, some modern scholars claim the near universality of the accusations in ancient texts lends credence to the crime.
Already, while alive, he received the widespread private worship of a living princeps [89] and was worshipped in Britannia in his own temple in Camulodunum.
Claudius was deified by Nero and the Senate almost immediately. Agrippina had sent away Narcissus shortly before Claudius' death, and now murdered the freedman.
The last act of this secretary of letters was to burn all of Claudius' correspondence—most likely so it could not be used against him and others in an already hostile new regime.
Thus Claudius' private words about his own policies and motives were lost to history. Just as Claudius had criticized his predecessors in official edicts see below , Nero often criticized the deceased Emperor and many of Claudius' laws and edicts were disregarded under the reasoning that he was too stupid and senile to have meant them.
Seneca 's Apocolocyntosis mocks the deification of Claudius and reinforces the view of Claudius as an unpleasant fool; this remained the official view for the duration of Nero's reign.
Eventually Nero stopped referring to his deified adoptive father at all, and realigned with his birth family.
Claudius' temple was left unfinished after only some of the foundation had been laid down. Eventually the site was overtaken by Nero's Golden House.
The Flavians , who had risen to prominence under Claudius, took a different tack. They were in a position where they needed to shore up their legitimacy, but also justify the fall of the Julio-Claudians.
They reached back to Claudius in contrast with Nero, to show that they were good associated with good. Commemorative coins were issued of Claudius and his son Britannicus , who had been a friend of the Emperor Titus Titus was born in 39, Britannicus was born in However, as the Flavians became established, they needed to emphasize their own credentials more, and their references to Claudius ceased.
Instead, he was lumped with the other emperors of the fallen dynasty. His state cult in Rome probably continued until the abolition of all such cults of dead Emperors by Maximinus Thrax in — The main ancient historians Tacitus , Suetonius , and Cassius Dio all wrote after the last of the Flavians had gone.
All three were senators or equites. They took the side of the Senate in most conflicts with the Princeps, invariably viewing him as being in the wrong.
This resulted in biases, both conscious and unconscious. Suetonius lost access to the official archives shortly after beginning his work. He was forced to rely on second-hand accounts when it came to Claudius with the exception of Augustus' letters, which had been gathered earlier.
Suetonius painted Claudius as a ridiculous figure, belittling many of his acts and attributing the objectively good works to his retinue. Tacitus wrote a narrative for his fellow senators and fitted each of the emperors into a simple mold of his choosing.
During his censorship of 47—48 Tacitus allows the reader a glimpse of a Claudius who is more statesmanlike XI. Tacitus is usually held to have 'hidden' his use of Claudius' writings and to have omitted Claudius' character from his works.
Dio was less biased, but seems to have used Suetonius and Tacitus as sources. Thus the conception of Claudius as the weak fool, controlled by those he supposedly ruled, was preserved for the ages.
As time passed, Claudius was mostly forgotten outside of the historians' accounts. His books were lost first, as their antiquarian subjects became unfashionable.
In the 2nd century, Pertinax , who shared his birthday, became emperor, overshadowing commemoration of Claudius.
In literature, Claudius and his contemporaries appear in the historical novel The Roman by Mika Waltari. Canadian-born science fiction writer A.
When Togidubnus returns to Britain in advance of the Roman army, it is with a mission given to him by Claudius.

Suetonius provides 'Tiberius Claudius Drusus' as his birth name. Simpson [1] and Hurley [2] suggest that he added the surname Germanicus in 9 BC by senatorial decree and switched Drusus for Nero when he became head of the Claudius Nero family in AD 4.
Stuart [3] and Levick [4] somewhat ignore Suetonius and propose that his name was always Ti. Claudius Nero, and that he added Germanicus only in AD 4.
