Claudius

Claudius (10 BC - 54 AD), in full Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, original name Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus, was Roman Emperor from 41 to 54. He annexed various territories and started the conquest of Britain. He is stated to have died due to poisoning by his wife.

Hostile senatorial writers described him negatively, but more recent revisionist historians have been more positive.
