The Emperor I Chose is Claudius. Claudius was the 3rd Emperor of Julio Claudian Dynasty. His full name is Ti Claudius Nero Germinicus. He was born on August 1st 10 B.C. He died sometime in 54 A.D.
Claudius ruled Rome for 13 years. He was sworn in, in A.D. 41. But Claudius wasn't always smart enough to rule Rome. He was born with defects. He limped, drooled, stuttered, and was constantly sick. His parents and family were embarrassed of him, they kept him out of public eye! He spent the majority of his freetime as a youth, reading. He became a scholor of considerable ability.
Claudius's skills and knowledge of government institutions that he had learned from studying history, put him in good stead when he came to power. His defects …show more content…
He soon started "publishing" his writings. His writings were so good that Tacticus even used them! Claudius's defects didn't stop him from being great.
The Praetorian Guards installed Claudius as Emperor. In A.D. 41, the sworn protectors of the Roman Emperor Assassinated Caliqula. They also brutally murdered his wife and child at the imperial palace. When Claudius found out he ran for his life, hiding. When the Praetorian Guards found him, they soluted him as Rome's new emperor instead of killing him.
Claudius's 3rd wife Messalina was sex obsessed and participated in a mock marriage. The consul-elect Gaius Sillus. Claudius was afraid that they were gonna kill him. So he executed the both of them.
Claudius never had public support because they thought he had a part in Caliqua's death. Wanting public support, Claudius tried reviving the image of expanding Rome. When a Celtic tribal king came to Claudius for help with invaders, Claudius took the chance and created Roman Britain.
In conclusion I believe that Claudius was a good emperor. He was ambitious. Even though he made mistakes he still did well. Considering the defects he was born with, he became a person of greatness. We can't blame him for
