I, CLAUDIUS
July 27, 2008
Some said you were an unlikely man to become emperor, but you knew better all along. Where previous fools saw affliction, now shines beauty and strength. Since your abominable cousin Caligula’s assasination, you have honorably expanded the empire and your recorded histories will preserve Rome through your deification and into the Modern age.

While we love HBO’s Rome, we recommend the original series on Ancient Rome–the BBC’s 1977 I, Claudius, starring Derek Jacobi as Emperor Claudius.
