"The Praetorian Guard had betrayed their emperor for the first time." It certainly wouldn't be the last... R.I.P. Aurelian.

Ah Claudius, a living example of “never judge a book by it’s cover.”

[@wisedragon173]

Claudius playing the fool in order to survive, shows how smart he was. He even managed to survive Caligula's terror regime. In a royal family were assassinating relatives to get rid of rivals was the norm, being shunned and considered an idiot could save your life. Claudius was despised by his own mother because of his physical defects and shyness. He had a tendency to stutter too. However, Suetonius noted that his stuttering and stammering improved pretty noticeably after he became Emperor. Claudius did a pretty good job in being an emperor.

Such was life for Uncle Claudius, at least he brought glory to the empire and kept it stable and prosperous

[@royouyong2131]

It's a shame that Claudius' histories of Carthage and the Etruscans have not survived...

[@barbiquearea]

Claudius was the Rain Man of Roman emperors. A guy who was born with several disabilities, both physical in nature and mental, and as a result he was ostracized by his family and treated like a fool. Yet he turned out to be a very talented administrator and military strategist. And ironically the reason why he ended donning the imperial purple was because he managed to survived all of his entire murderous and power hungry clan by pretending to be dimwitted and therefore wasn't perceived as a political threat by any of them.

Such is the life of uncle Claudius. Jokes aside, he has to be one of my top 10 emperors.

[@napoleonibonaparte7198]

It’s almost always the unwilling that turned out the best.

[@giovannimuz7351]

Terribly underrated emperor, and truly one of the best! Thank you for giving Claudius the attention he deserves!

[@Eduardo_G]

Such was life for uncle Claudius ...

[@ArchonShon]

Praetorian guards: This guy should be easy to control.

[@carlramirez6339]

"Claudius fell in love with history"

[@zhenkuratski2219]

"..As for being half-witted: well, what can I say, except that I have survived to middle age with half my wits, while thousands have died with all of theirs intact. Evidently, quality of wits is more than quantity!"

[@Dragons_Armory]

I rather like Claudius, a very underrated Emperor

[@Longshanks1690]

Everyone in Roman Politics: “Lol Claudius isn’t gonna be anything! This weird cripple is gonna be out of our way soon enough.”

[@napoleonibonaparte7198]

“I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire!”

[@Decoffeee-ky4ch]

Claudius: you may all bully me now, but one day I’ll be emperor and will have my revenge!!!

[@robwalsh9843]

"We can't have anymore dictators! We need to go back to having a corrupt self-serving oligarchy! Like the good old days!"
