Claudius
10 BC - 54 AD
Brother of Germanicus, uncle of Caligula, and father to Britannicus.
Claudius was the emperor of Rome from A.D. 41 to 54. He became unpopular for executing senators and for giving secretaries who had been slaves great influence. He ordered the conquest of Britain that began in A.D. 43 and made the Balkan Peninsula (then called Thrace) a Roman province in A.D. 46. Lame and a stutterer, Claudius was kept from public view in his youth. Claudius died on Oct. 13, A.D. 54, and it is generally believed that Agrippina murdered him so that Nero could become emperor.
