Thanks for your channel and all your amazing content x
I still enjoy watching "I, Claudius". 🙂
I have it in my DVD collection. I've probably watched two dozen times.
Me too!
Same here! 😇
The book I Claudius is one of the best I ever read.
I Claudius.... With all the English accents😂😂😂
Claudius was a fascinating man and an underrated emperor. He's my favourite, I've always admired how he overcame all the scorn and derision, and ruled quite capably on his own.
members of the imperial family were expected to be sound specimens...at least physically...so he was treated as something ripe for derision...and a standing joke among the elitists....
He became my favorite Roman emperor after watching this documentary. Never judge a book by its cover.
@frankpienkosky5688 Yes, I think his handicap saved him. Livia Drusilla poisoned everyone who was a threat to her son, becoming emperor. Claudius wasn't taking serious due to his handicap
Claudius gave Rome clean water and winter wheat. Compared to most of the others, he was a competent ruler.
Say not always what you know, but always know what you say ~ Claudius.
Claudius was such an awesome emperor! No one expected him to be one, much less beign as great as he was!
no emperor...no need for a Praetorian guard...it was either Claudius....or a trip back to the legions......
He rode a wave in the maelstrom of history.
Of all the Roman emperors from Tiberius (14-37) to Nerva (96-98), arguably/IMO, Claudius (41-54) was the best one (emperor).
@@mariusmatei2946 Marcus Aurelius was another great emperor. Sad that so few were.
@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 yeah, most historians believe that Trajan (98-117), Hadrian (117-138), Antoninus Pius (138-161), and Marcus Aurelius (161-180) were the best Roman Emperors; the Golden Age of the Roman Empire.
A man who was ridiculed by his people, gave them a great time of prosperity.
Great to see this video. I have been fascinated with Claudius since the original 1970s miniseries with Sir Derek Jacobi, and I know that they took quite a few liberties with Claudius's life. There is so much confusion about Claudius because I am sure most people probably take Robert Graves' take (or even the Netflix Roman Empire series) as gospel. There is a lot more that can be told about Claudius's life.
....and to think the praetorian almost killed him...
Perhaps Robert Graves intended his Claudius to be 'economical with the truth'. Claudius would have felt great completing all those grand civic projects after suffering lifetimes of abuse from his relatives. Reliably providing Rome with clean water and bread was inspired. Invading Britain was one of the last stable additions to the Empire. 'Dignitas' was an essential virtue of Roman male civic life. It's no wonder Claudius suffered from esteem issues, and was more easily manipulated by trusted servants and women. As the Romans said, 'No one knows the Master like the Slave'.
All of these biographies are interesting but many are downright riveting. I especially enjoyed your videos on Emperor Vespasian, my favorite emperor, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. Stupendous effort, gentlemen. Much appreciated.
Vespasian is great. Very interesting life. First to have 2 heirs take the throne as planned , Titus and then Domitian.
You know the path to my heart 🥶 I said it once, and l will say it again. You have the best history channel on TH-cam period.
Impeccable content as usual my friend, thank you for keeping me entertained and informed!!
“Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud, hatch out”.
How many people will be discussed and argued over 500 years, 1000 years , 2000 years and more after their life on earth ..
How Claudius turned out to be one of the better, and longest reigning Emperors is amazing to me (he's my personal fav), with all the sorrow, heartbreak, deceipt, cruelty he endured, from HIS OWN FAMILY no less. The assassination/coup attempts, HIS WIVES!. He should have been WORSE than Caligula or Nero (his bookends). No would have been surprised he turned out a maniac. Imagine, thinking the Praetorians were going to kill him, hiding behind a curtain, only to have them fall in front of him, "Hail Emperor Claudius". I bet his first Emperial Order was "find me some clean underwear".
Claudius has gained a unique position in Roman history in that he was a good leader, yes, but he was also the rare leader that allowed his suffering to make him a better person. We could do with someone like him right now…
Good point. Oh boy, do we ever.
“The man known to history…” music to my ears
no mention of the claudian letters-he added three letters to the latin alphabet, and he used spaces between words (using a dot). classical latin was written using no spaces between words. his writings on etruscans and carthage, while they did not survive, were well read in their day and most likely served as a source to what we now know.
You'd think Latin didn't need to be made more confusing.
Claudius has my vote.
Claudius brought so much to the empire! His reign is overlooked by many! Truly a great emperor!
I remember reading that he was designated to be Emperor as a joke due to his disabillities but turn out to be one of the best emperor ever.
Claudius was a fascinating man and an underrated emperor.
Claudius is one of the 2 roman Emperors I admire.
Who's the other?
One of the best emperors that attributed to Rome’s greatest place within the world as it was known at the time.
Simply the most informational video on Claudius I've ever seen. Bravo guys 👏
The sheer detail in each video never fails to impress!
Now I want to go read I, Claudius again!
You used to be able to watch the whole series on TH-cam
CLAUDIUS WAS A GENIUS BUT, NOBODY UNDERSTOOD HIM. HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST ROMAN EMPERORS
After watching I, Claudius ( great show) this is the perfect follow up for one of the most unlikely emperorS
Claudius was also the last person known to have been able to read Etruscan apparently.
Claudius is arguably the best emperor from the Antonine dynasty. Him and Octavian, of course. Claudius is proof that its not the looks or the physique that rule but the brain and common sense. A valuable lesson in politics back then and today.
Claudius belonged to the Julian-Claudian dynasty. The Antonine dynasty consisted of Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus and Commodus.
Claudius's advisor: "It's over. He just died of a heart attack in his sleep..."
Burrus: "I see...Well, may the gods welcome him to the Olympus. As head of the Praetorian Guard, I guarantee the absolute loyalty of the army to the new Caesar Britannicus"
Claudius's advisor: "Britannicus?"
Burrus: "Is there any problem?"
Claudius's advisor: "I'm afraid that...Britannicus is not going to be the new Emperor. There has been a recent change in the imperial will"
Burrus: "Wait. If Britannicus isn't going to be the next Caesar, then who...?"
Voice of a young man playing the lyre: 🎵 "The Emperor is going to marry my mother, although there is a prohibition against it. Claudius the Fool stutters no more... and now all Rome shall burn at the end of my song..."🎵
Burrus: 😐
....and now we're into the film "Quo Vadis".....
....and after Nero we're into the emperor of the month club....
Um... OK.
I'm going to stand over there, now.
One of the greatest emperors,no doubt.
Overall Claudius seemed to be a competent ruler and helped improve the conditions of the people in general. Plus the icing on the cake the defeat of Britain. He did show ruthlessness though by killing threats to his position . He also did seem blind to his last wife who gradually moved Nero to be emperor , thus his murder.
Yep. Such was life for Uncle Claudius🙄🙄
A classic case of “don’t judge a book by it’s cover.”
Thank you for an entertaining and educational biography! Having read Robert Graves' I. Claudius at a relatively young age, I cannot help but feel respect for him.
Claudius was a cowboy 🤠 🐎
I’m watching this fascinating documentary because of my discovery of the magnificent miniseries “I, CLAUDIUS”.
Great to see this video, having visited italy/ europe in 2015 from pakistan. biographies are interesting but many are downright riveting. I especially enjoyed your videos on Emperor Vespasian, my favorite emperor, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. Stupendous effort, gentlemen. Much appreciated. I have been fascinated with Claudius since the original 1970s miniseries with Sir Derek Jacobi, and I know that they took quite a few liberties with Claudius's life. There is so much confusion about Claudius because I am sure most people probably take Robert Graves' take (or even the Netflix Roman Empire series) as gospel. There is a lot more that can be told about Claudius's life. best wishes aijaz
Yes I agree he was out standing in his role as a leader especially after the start he had, he thought he was going to be murdered, within min he is proclaimed emperor the most powerful man in the world 🌍 at the time, but it most have shaped the rest of his life in a unique way
This biography is fantastic 😍! Thank you so much for the efforts of the channel.
Oh hey, video starts with Pont du gard in Occitania, near Provence. Which is an absolutely beautiful area and well worth a visit if you're ever there. Just don't go in July/August or there's no water. 🥵
I wonder if Claudius had serious doubts about the paternity of his son and daughter given he should have been stupid to not see how he basically condemned to death his son by not only adopting Nero but marring him to his daughter who also had a horrible fate and again no wonder Nero’s character which I doubt Claudius didn’t notice. I doubt Claudius was stupid or blind he just didn’t care about his biological son fate out of spite.
i hear you, but he loved Messalina to a fault, he could never stay angry with her no matter what she did, and she knew this and was a master at manipulating him. Which is why Narcissus made sure she could not see him in person right before her execution. Maybe in the same way he was just enamored with Agrippina, she no doubt had him wrapped around her finger, even more so than Livia had Augustus with whom she definitely pulled some strings, though perhaps in a more secretly sinister manner. I think old Claudius was just in love deeply, was extremely passive by nature due to his childhood treatment and avoided confrontation to a fault, and lastly he just truly hoped that it would all work out which Agrippina I'm sure assured him that should something happen to him, she would see that his children were cared for as if they were her very own, and so he just left it in the hands of the gods per se.....or he subconsciously loathed them as they looked to much like their mother, which was too much of a reminder of his skanky tramp ex-wife's escapades and couldn't figure out how to keep her whorish legs shut for the life of her and who got what she deserved in the end when she finally got poked with a different kind of sword :)
No way have I just submitted a Uni assignment regarding this guy today, and this only gets posted now. Smh🤦♂️
That would be the same luck I would have. Hahahaha well how do you think you did. Or what grade did you get. If you got it back.
Nomad, did you read his chronicles? "I claudius", the real game of thrones sans dragons.
@@sheilalopez3983 Augustus:..."I will only eat figs from that tree I can see"....Livia:... "Yes, dear"....and then each night after he was asleep she would paint each one with poison!.......gotta' love those Romans!...........
@@frankpienkosky5688 or not. They weren't very lovable.
The thumbnail made me question my memory. Almost thought it was Peter Cushing that played him in I, Claudius instead of Derek Jacobi. Time for a rewatch…
If you are capable of commanding an army that conquered Britain, you must have something going for you. I don't see him as incompetent.
Never conquered britton scotland was never conquered
@@garymackie5608 Damn, you're right actually. BTW it's "Britain," not britton.
He was very competent.
Love this 2 video a week format!
Interestingly, Robert Graves, who wrote I, Claudius, felt that Claudius died as a result of an enema given him to recover from vomiting up the first attempt to poison him. The poisoned mushroom essence was then slipped into the enema water!
...we all get it in the end....
Sparkling enema water.
@@TheCrossroads533 Indeed-he was an Emperor after all...
Un împărat viclean, inteligent și perfid a fost după părerea mea,Claudius!
There is theory Claudius had more to do with Caligula then people think
Caligula was his nephew. He too took pleasure in tormenting his uncle.
Brilliant
The first king of England
God Save The King
I'd love to see a video on Agrippina the Younger, she was the focus of my college thesis and it would be a welcome companion piece to this video. Thank you again for your amazing work and dedication to history!
That would be great to see.
You majored in History?
@@mariusmatei2946 Yes, currently finishing up in the next two terms!
@@laurenpetrie9582 figures! 😁
Did you study Latin? I so, good for you.
Another great 👍 video. Thanks.
God I love Claudius.
As a wise man once said, "Such is life for uncle Claudius"
I’m gonna need a spreadsheet and a printer. Great content❤
Claudius rocks ❤
The plotting women were the scariest.
Except all these stories of "plotting women" were written by men. Very one-sided.
@@astrid703 OK, but they can't all be untrue. Women can be as wicked as men.
Very informative
I Claudius Best Show EVER👍
Thank you ❣️
wow good work
Very good video
Claudius - Conqueror of Britain Documentary. Thanks for watching!
ka ka ka ka Claudius pa pa pa pa played them all ;-)
Thanks.
The good emperor
This is very important and informative. The actions of this Roman royalty I think still goes on today in governments. When will we learn?
There was an attempt to make the epic I, Claudius in 1937, I think, with Charles Laughton, Merle Oberon, and other stars. It was never completed as Merle Oberon suffered a car accident. So only excerpts exist. Laughton is magnificent and mesmerising. He was even better than the great Derek Jacobi. YT has a 70 minute exposition of the Epic that never was made and 25 minutes of Charles Laughton. I heartily suggest pple view them. They won't regret it. It could have been one of the best epic films ever.
Wow, not a video about Caligula or Caesar.
Great narrator indeed.
For the love of God can some plz tell me what that gigantic ruin is at 21:00? I can’t figure it out for the life of me! After so many searches and even image searches.. it’s driving me nuts! Whatever it is, it looks like it was once quite incredible, dominating that whole coastal landscape.
catherine de medici please 🙏, these are so good!
Interesting
ONE great Diplomat Who died for sinners.
Claudius had the office of emperor foisted on him by the Praetorian Guard - a separate military force established by Augustus as a personal bodyguard*. It soon expanded on numbers and unofficial but effective power especially in despatching and appointing the new Caesar.
* A Roman Schultz Staffel ie SS ?
With all Claudias overcame he should be Respected More!! Poor Uncle Claudias
56:57 All cars are driving backwards :p
Please do one episode on Napoleon
I 😢 believe the scant mention of Claudius invading Britain. He wanted a Triumph. As soon as it was safe, he followed the soldiers gloriously riding an elephant.
Claudius, on an elephant. Invading Wild Britain.
Smarter than he looked, he wrote many history books. He had a liberal viewpoint of one who has been deprived and bullied himself, and now has the chance to help those who've been bullied. At times. Following Caligula, there would be a lot of opportunities.
He was motivated to whip Rome into shape.
He was good at finding all the right people lol.
Better than most!
Lugdunum was founded based on the Celtic god Lúg. The seasonal Celtic Gaelic Irish Lúnasagh is derived from that Celtic god Lúgh
Claudius wrote his memoires. Unfortunately, they haven't survived.
I stand wihj Caladious.
I didn’t know he conquered Scotland
...then he gave it back...or at least Hadrian did.....sort of like us with Mexico....there's a message there....
....recovering an eagle was a big deal....
The picts lost one battle but won the war and Rome was sent south

Thanks for subbing!
You rule
“ Who me, Claudius?”
Hey, you guys think of ancient Rome?
Claudius may have had Polymicrogyria, left sided. This can - and does- cause similar issues and can have many comorbid conditions such as autism and adhd. Of course, these diagnoses didn’t exist then, but his symptoms do point towards a brain malformation. May not qualify as cerebral palsy due to the mild nature of the palsy. Tourette’s may also be a co morbid condition to the PMG but would not cause a one sided weakness.
I strongly doubt he was autistic. He had great patience, so adhd is probably out.
America. Ancient Rome. One already fell. The other is trying really hard to fall.
This documentary is narrated in such a precipitous and garrulous way that the listener is overwhelmed with material and quickly loses interest.
Speak for yourself.
Didn’t temple at Jerusalem fall under Claudius?
The war began with Emperor Nero.
When the temple was destroyed the emperor was Vespasian, and the commander of the Roman legions was his son Titus
Lookie here. The thumbnail.
That guy does not look anything like Claudius!
Lead poisoning.
Colodius
No of England and Wales his legions got scared at our border by some maniacs with blue faces,typical of highlanders when they lost their balaclavas .🏴
Sounds more like temporal lobe epilepsy.
It was claudius who executed Valentine he's responsible for saint Valentines day
Really.
@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 Yes, he was, Claudius passed a law that all new conscripts into the Roman army were not allowed to marry. Claudius felt that newly married soldiers wouldn't fight as bravely if they were thinking about their wives, so he banned young recruits conscripted into the army to marry. Valentine was a roman priest who disobeyed this order and secretly married young couples. Claudius unfortunately found out and executed Valentine 💝 ❤️❤️
@@HenryRaeburn367 banned Oh that's very disappointing.
It probably never was him doing any of it
In Italian the word "Claudicante" means lame.
Leans like a Claudius.
