General Notes (Husband)

Claudius I (10 BC-AD 54), Roman emperor (AD 41-54). C l a u d ius was born TIBERIUS CLAUDIUS DRUSUS NERO GERMANI C U S i n Lu gdunum (present-day Lyon, France). His father , N er o Cl audiu s Drusus, was a younger brother of Tiberi us C lau diu s Nero C aesar, later the Roman emperor Tiberi us. C laud iu s held no i mportant public office until th e age o f 47 , whe n he becam e consul during the reign o f his neph ew, E mpero r Caligula . When the latter was ass assinated i n AD 4 1, Cla udius was p roclaimed emperor b y the Praetori an Guar d, wh o found him hi ding in the pal ace. The firs t acts o f his re ign gave promis e of mild a nd just govern ment; bu t in 42, w hen a conspirac y agains t his life wa s uncovered , he went i nto semiretireme nt . His wife Messa lina becam e largely resp onsible for admi n istering the go vernment fo r a time. She p racticed crue ltie s and extorti ons withou t restraint. Asid e from th e excesse s perpetrat ed under th e influence of Mes salina , Claudius' s reign wa s that of a n able administrator , b oth in civil an d milit ary affairs . Mauretania (present - day northern Morocc o an d western Al geria) was made a R oma n province; the conqu e st of Britai n was begun; and t he Rom an armies fought succ e ssfully aga inst the Germans . Judea a nd Thrace also beca me R oman prov inces during h is rule. Cla udius expended en ormou s sums i n building, e specially in th e constructio n of the f amou s Claudian Aq ueduct. His admini stration wa s characteriz e d by a decli ne in the power of th e nobilit y and by the pr a ctice, la ter commonplace, of gran ting re sponsibility an d we alt h to the personal followers o f th e emperor, includ ing f o rmer slaves. In 48 Claudius ord er ed the execution o f M essal ina, who had indicated her co n tempt for him by pu b licly sta ging a mock marriage wit h he r lover. He then d e fied widespr ead disapproval by ma rryin g his niece, Agr ipp ina the Younge r, under whose inf luenc e he deprived h is so n by Messalina , Britannicus, o f his he ritage, adop ting in stead Agrippina' s son by a fo rmer marri age, Nero , later e mperor of Rome. Sh ortly ther eafter Claud ius wa s poisoned , presumably by Agrip pina. C laudius is dep ict ed by ancien t historians as being n egle cted, sickly, a n d ridiculed be fore coming to power; h i s character duri ng h is reign is d escribed as ignorant a nd m alicious. Mo dern sc holars, howe ver, tend to discoun t thei r testimon y and esti mate him a s shrewd and able. S ource: "C laudiu s I," Microso ft(R) Enc arta(R) 98 Encyclop edia.

Early life.

The son of Nero Claudius Drusus, a popular and succes s f u l R oman general, and the younger Antonia, he was th e n ep he w o f the emperor Tiberius and a grandson of Livi a Dr usi lla , th e wife of the emperor Augustus. Ill healt h, un attr acti ve ap pearance, clumsiness of manner, and c oarsen ess o f tas te di d not recommend him for a public l ife. Th e impe rial f amil y seems to have considered him s omethin g of a n embarra ssmen t, and he was long left to h is own p rivat e studies an d amus ements. It was the histo rian Liv y who r ecognized an d encour aged his inclinatio n for hist orical s tudies. Claud ius wrot e a pamphlet def ending th e republica n politician a nd orato r Cicero, wh o was execu ted by the t riumvirs; and , having di scovere d that it wa s difficult t o speak freel y on the civi l wa rs toward th e end of the Ro man Republic , he began a hi s tory of Rom e with the princip ate of August us. He compo sed 2 0 book s of Etruscan and 8 b ooks of Cartha ginian hi story, al l i n Greek; an autobiogra phy; and a hist orica l treatis e o n the Roman alphabet wit h suggestions fo r o rthographi cal re form--which as empero r he later trie d n ot very suc cessfull y to implement. He a lso wrote o n dice p laying, o f which h e was fond. All hi s works ar e lost, an d their i mportance ca nnot be measured . The Et ruscan histor y may h ave had origina l material: hi s firs t wife, Plauti a Urgul anilla, had Etrusc an blood, an d he r family was prob abl y able to put Claudiu s in touch w it h authentic Etrusc a n traditions. After divorc ing Urgul a nilla, he in turn m arr ied Aelia Paetina, Valeri a Messa lin a, who was his wif e a t his accession, and, finall y , Agrip pina the Younger . By h is first three wives he ha d f ive ch ildren, of who m Drusu s and Claudia died befor e he bec am e emperor. A s a young ma n Claudius was mad e a member o f v arious reli gious colleges , but he becam e consul only u nde r the reig n of his older b rother's so n Gaius (Caligula ) i n 37. The re was, however, l ittle co rdiality between th e two.

Emperor and colonizer

Power came to Claudius unexpectedly after Gaius' mu r d e r o n Jan. 24, 41, when he was discovered tremblin g i n t h e pala ce by a soldier. The Praetorian Guards, th e im peri a l househ old troops, made him emperor on Januar y 25 . By f am ily tradi tion and antiquarian inclinations , Clau dius wa s i n sympath y with the senatorial aristocr acy; bu t soldie rs a nd courtie rs were his real supporter s, whil e freedme n an d foreigner s had been his friends i n the da ys of negl ect . Initially, t he attitude of the S enate wa s at best am bigu ous. In 42 man y senators suppor ted the i ll-fated rebe llio n of the Governo r of Dalmatia . Even lat er, several at tempt s on Claudius' li fe involv ed senator s and knights. T houg h paying homage to t he di gnity of th e Senate (to whos e adm inistration he return e d the provin ces of Macedonia a nd Ach aea) and giving ne w op portunitie s to the knights, C laudiu s was ruthless a nd occas ionall y cruel in his dealin gs wit h individual m embers of bo t h orders. From the ver y beginni ng he empha sized his frien d ship with the army an d paid cas h for hi s proclamation a s em peror.

Claudius' decision to invade Britain (43) and his per s o n a l appearance at the climax of the expedition, the c ro ss i n g of the Thames and the capture of Camulodunum (C olc hes te r) , were prompted by his need of popularity an d glo ry . Bu t co ncern with the anti-Roman influence of t he Dru i d pries thood , which he tried to suppress in Gaul , an d a g eneral i nclina tion toward expanding the fronti ers w ere ot her reaso ns. Cla udius planted a colony of ve teran s at Cam ulodunum a nd estab lished client-kingdoms t o prot ect the f rontiers o f the prov ince; these were aft erwar d a source o f trouble , such as th e revolt in 47 o f Prasu tagus, client -king of t he Iceni, an d later the g eneral r evolt instigat ed by his w ife Boudicc a (also cal led Boadi cea). He also a nnexed Maure tania (41-42 ) in No rth Africa , of which he ma de two provin ces (Caesarie nsi s in the ea st and Tingitan a in the west) , Lycia in As i a Minor (43) , and Thrace (46) . Though he enl arged th e kingd om of Her od Agrippa I, he l ater made Judae a a pr ovince on A grippa 's death in 44. I n 49 he annexed It ure a (northeaster n Pa lestine) to the pr ovince of Syria . H e was careful no t t o involve the empir e in major war s wit h the Germans a nd th e Parthians. Claud ius supporte d Roma n control of Ar menia, b ut in 52 he pref erred th e collaps e of the pro-Ro man governm ent to a war w ith Pa rthia, leavi ng a difficul t situation t o his success or.

In the civil administration, many measures demonstrat e C l a u dius' enlightened policy. He improved in detail t he j ud ic ia l system, and, in his dealings with the provi nces , h e fa vou red a moderate extension of Roman citizen shi p by i ndivi dua l and collective grants: in Noricum , a dis trict s outh o f th e Danube comprising what is no w centra l Austri a and pa rts o f Bavaria, for instance, f ive commu nities be came Roma n muni cipalities. He encoura ged urbani zation an d planted s evera l colonies, for exam ple, at Cam ulodunum a nd at Coloni a Agri ppinensis (moder n Cologne) i n Germany i n 51. In hi s religio us policy Cl audius respec ted traditio n; he revive d old reli gious ce remonies, cele brated the fe stival of th e Secular Ga me s in 47 (three da ys and night s of games an d sacrifice co m memorating the 8 00th birthda y of Rome), mad e himsel f a cens or in 47, an d extended i n 49 the pomeriu m of Ro me (i.e., th e boundar y of the are a in which only Ro ma n gods could be wo rshipp ed and magist rates ruled with c i vil, not military, po wer s). He protect ed the haruspice s (d iviners) and probab l y Romanized the c ult of the Phr ygian d eity Attis. Accor din g to the biograp her Suetoniu s in Claud ius, during a p erio d of troubles Cl audius exp elled the Jew s from Rome f or a sh ort time; Chri stians m ay have been inv olved. Else where he c onfirmed exi stin g Jewish rights and p rivileges , and in Alex andria h e tr ied to protect the Jew s withou t provoking Egypt ian na ti onalism. In a surviving l ette r addressed to the ci t y o f Alexandria, he asked Jews a n d non-Jews "to stop t his d e structive and obstinate mutu a l enmity." Althoug h personal l y disinclined to accept di vin e honours, he d id not serio usl y oppose the current tr end a nd had a tem ple erected t o hims elf in Camulodunum . His pub lic work s include the re organiza tion of the gra in supply o f Rom e and constructio n of a ne w harbour at O stia, which w a s later improved b y the empero r Trajan.

Administrative innovations.

Claudius' general policy increased the control of the e m p e r or over the treasury and the provincial administrat i o n a n d apparently gave jurisdiction in fiscal matter s t o h is o w n governors in the senatorial provinces. H e crea te d a ki n d of cabinet of freedmen, on whom he bes towed h ono urs, t o s uperintend various branches of the a dministr atio n.

The insc ription from Lugd unu m is a n interestin g comparison with t he version of t h e historia n Tacitus i n his Annals, whic h gives an acco un t of the sam e speech . The speech as reco rded in the i nscri ption, in spi te o f irrelevance, inconse quence, an d fondnes s for digressi o n (much of which is abs ent in t he version o f Tacitus), sh o ws that Claudius kne w what h e wanted and th at he apprec iate d the latent force s of R oman tradition.

His marriage with Messalina ended in 48, when she appar e n t l y conspired against him and, according to Tacitus , co nd uc te d a public marriage ceremony with her lover , Gaiu s Si liu s . Messalina and Silius were killed, and C laudiu s marr ie d hi s niece Agrippina, an act contrary t o Roma n law, wh ic h he t herefore changed. To satisfy Agr ippina' s lust fo r po wer, Cl audius had to adopt her so n Lucius D omitius Ah enoba rbus (la ter the emperor Nero) , to the dis advantage o f hi s own son B ritannicus. In ad dition, the n ew commande r of t he guards, A franius Burru s, was protect ed by Agripp ina. Ro man traditio n is unani mous in statin g that Claudiu s was po isoned by Agr ippin a on Oct. 13, A D 54, though th e detail s differ. A vers i on of poisonin g by mushrooms pre vailed.

Early life.

The son of Nero Claudius Drusus, a popular and succes s f u l R oman general,and the younger Anton ia, he was th e n ep he w o f the emperor Tiberius and agrandson of Livi a Dru sil la , th e wife of th e emperor Augustus. Ill heal th,una ttra cti ve ap pearance, clumsiness of manner, and c oarsene s s o f ta stedi d not recommend him for a public l ife. Th e imper ial f amil y seems tohave considere d him s omethin g of an e mbarra ssmen t, and he was long leftto hi s own pr ivate stud ies an d amus e ments. It was the histo rian Liv y whorecogni zed an d encour aged his inclinatio n for histo rica l studie s.Claud ius wrot e a pamphlet def ending the r epublican poli tician a nd orator Cicero, w h o was execute d by the triumvi rs; and , having dis cover ed that itwas di fficult to spea k free l y on the civi l w ars toward the en d of theRoman Re public , he began a his t ory of Rome wit h th e principate o fAugust us. He compos ed 2 0 books of Et ruscan and 8 books o f Cartha ginianhist ory , al l in Greek ; an autobiography; a nd a hist orica l treatise o n theRoma n alphabet with sugges t ions fo r o rthographical re form-- which asemperor he late r tried n o t very successfull y t o imple ment. He also wrot eon dic e pl aying, of whic h h e was fond. All his works ar e lost , and t heirim porta nce ca nnot be measured. The Etru sca n history m ay have ha d origina lmaterial: his first w i f e, Plautia Urg ulanilla , had Etrusc an blood, andher fam i ly was probably a ble t o put Claudi u s in touch with aut h enticEtruscan tradi tio ns. After divor cing Urgulanilla , h e in turn married Ael i a Paetina, Valeri a Messalina , who w as his wife at his ac c ession, and, finally , Agri ppina t h e Younger. By his fi rs t three wives he had f iv echildren , of whom Drusus an d Clau dia died bef ore he be c ame emper or. As ayoung ma n Claudiu s was made a membe r of va rious r eligious colleg es , buth e became consul o nly under t he re ign of his old er brother' s son Gaius(Ca ligula) in 3 7 .

Agrippina immediately eliminated the powerful freedma n N a r c issus, who hadalways opposed her a ims. She hope d t o co nt ro l the government, but Burrusand Nero's old t utor , th e St oi c philosoph er Lucius Annaeus Seneca, tho ughth ey ow ed th ei r influence to Agrippina, were not con tent t o r em ain he rto ols. They encouraged Nero to act i ndepend ently o f her , an d a growingcoolness resul ted i n Nero' s relation s wit h hi s mother. In 56 Agrippinawa s forced i nto retirem ent. F rom t ha t time until 62, Bur rus and Sen ecawere th e effecti ve rul ers of the empire.

Brought up in this atmosphere, Nero might well have b e g u n t o behave likea monster upon his ac cession as emp er o r i n 5 4 but, in fact, behaved quiteotherwise. He pu t a n e nd t o th e more odio us features of the later year so f Clau dius ' reig n, including secret trials before th e em per o r and t hedomin ance of corrupt freedmen, and h e acco rde d more inde pendenc e to theSenate. The t estimo ny of c onte mporaries de picts Ne ro at this time as ahand some you ng ma n of fine pre senc e bu t with soft, weak fe atures an d ares tless spirit . Up to th e year 59, Nero' s biographer s ci t e only acts of generosit y and clemenc y on his accou nt. Hi s government for bade conte stsin t h e circus involv ing blo odshed, banned ca pital punis hme nt, reducedtaxes , and acco rded permissio n t o slave s t o bring civil comp laintsagain st unjust masters . Ner o himsel f pardoned writ ers o f epig rams againsthim a n d even those w ho plotted a gainst him, a nd secret trial s we re few.Th e la w of treas on was dormant : Claudius ha d put 4 0 senators to d eath, b ut, between th e murder s i nstigated b y Agrippina in 5 4 a nd the year 62, there wer e no like incid ents in Nero's r e ign . Nero als o inaugur atedcompetitions i n poetry, in t he t heatre, an d in athl etics ascounter-att r actions to g ladiato rial com bats. H e saw to it that assista ncewas pro vided to c itie s tha t ha d suffered disaster and , at th e request ofth e J ewi sh historian Josephus, gave ai d to t he Jews .

Artistic pretensions and irresponsibility.

While directing the government themselves, Burrus and S e n e c a had largelyleft Nero uncontrolle d to pursue hi s o w n ta st es and pleasures. Senecaurged Nero to use hi s aut oc rati c po wers consc ientiously, but he obviouslyf aile d t o harne ss th e boy's more generous impulses to hi sresp ons i bilitie s. A t first Nero hated signing death s entenc es , and theext ortio ns of Roman tax collect ors up on th e pop ulace led hi m in 5 8 tounrealistically sugges t tha t the cu stoms dues sh oul d b e abolished. Evenlate r Ner o was capab le of conceivi ng g randiose plans for co nquest s or thecr e ation of publi c work s, but for the mo st par t he used hi s positionsimpl y to grat ify his own p e rsona l pleasures . His nocturnal ri oting inth e street s was a s candal as ea rly as 56, but th e e mergenc e of r ealbrutali ty in Nero ca n be fixed in th e 35-month per io d between t he puttingt o d eath of his moth er at his orde r s in 59 an d his simila r treatment ofhis wif e Octavia i n Jun e 6 2 . He was led t o the murder of Agrippi na by he rinsanit y a nd her fury a t seeing her son slip o u t of h er contro l , to themurder o f Octavia by his having fa lle n in lov e wit h Poppaea Sabin a , theyoung wife of the s e nator (an d late r emperor) Otho , and by his fear thathi s re pudiate d w ife w as fomentin g disaffection at cour t and amo ng th epopulace. H e marrie d Poppaea in 62, b u t she died i n 65 , and hesubsequ entl y married the patr ician lady Statil i a Messalina.

Seeing that he could do what he liked without fear of c e n s u re orretribution, Nero began to gi ve rein to inord in a t e ar tistic pretensions.He fancied himself not onl y a p o e t but a lso a char ioteer and lyre player,and i n 59 o r 6 0 h e bega n to give public performances; late r he appe ar e do n the sta ge, and the theatre furnished h im with th e p retex t to assum eevery kind of role. T o th e Romans th es e antic s seemed t o be scandalousbreaches o f civic dign it y and dec orum. Ne r o even dreamed of aban doningthe thr on e of Rome i n order t o fulfill his poetic al and music a l g ifts,thoug h he did no t act on these pu erile ambitio ns . Beginning abo ut 63 heals o developed s t range religio u s enthusiasms an d became incre asinglyat tracted to the p re achers of novel c ults . By now S enec a felt that he had los t all influence ov er Nero, an d h e retired after Burru s' d e ath in 62.

The great fire that ravaged Rome in 64 illustrate s h o w l o w Nero'sreputation had sunk by thi s time. Taki ng a dv anta g e of the fire'sdestruction, Nero had the cit y rec ons truct e d in the Gre ek style and beganbuildin g a prodi giou s pala ce --the Golden House--which, had i t beenfinish e d , would h av e covered a third of Rome. Du ring the fir e N ero was athi s v illa at Antium 35 mil e s (56 km) fro m Rom e and therefor e ca nnot beheld respo nsible for the b urnin g of the city. B u t t he Roman popu lacemistakenly be lieve d that he himsel f had st arted th e fire in Rome in o rder t o indulge his aes thetic ta ste s in the city's subse quent r econstruction.Acco rding t o t he Anna ls of the Rom an histo rian Tacitus and t o th e Nero o fthe Roman biograp her Sueto nius, Nero in r esp o nse tried t o shiftresponsib ility fo r the fire on the Chr i stians, who w ere popularl y thoug ht to engage in many w icke d practices. H itherto t he governme nt had notclearl y distin guished Ch rist ians f rom Jews; al most by accide nt, Neroini tiated the late r Ro man policy o f halfhearte d p ersecutio n of theChristian s , in the proce ss earnin g himself the rep utation of Anti chri stin th e Ch ristia n tradition.

The approaching end.

Meanwhile, the imperial government had had some suc c e s s i n the east. Thegreat foreign-polic y problem of t h e t im e wa s that of Armenia. Since thereign of Augustu s , it h a d bee n Roman poli cy to appoint vassal kings th er eand s o m ake Ar menia a buffer state against Parthia , Rom e's i m plac able fo ein the east. But the Armenian s had lo ng cha fed und er Roma n rule, and inthe emper o r Claudius ' last y ears a P arthia n prince named Tirida tes hadmade h imself ki ng of Arm enia wi t h the support o f its people . In respons e,Nero's n ew gover nment took vi gorous action , appointi n g an able ge neral,Gna eus Domit ius Corbulo, t o the command . Prolonged m ilitary op erati ons byC orbul o led in 66 t o a new settlemen t; Tiridat e s was recognize d as king,bu t he was compelle d t o com e to R ome to recei ve his crow n from Nero.

Despite this success, the provinces were increasingly u n e a s y, for theywere oppressed by exact ions to cover Ne ro ' s e xt ravagant expenditures onhis court, new building s , an d gi ft s to his fa vourites; the lastexpenditures a lo ne ar e sai d t o have amounted to more than 2, 000,000, 000 sest e rces , a su m that was several times the annua l cos t of th e army . Arevo lt in Britain was heade d by Q ueen B oudicc a (Boadic ea) in 6 0 or 61,and an insurrectio n in Ju daea la sted fro m 66 to 7 0 . Nero had manyantagon ists b y this tim e. The gr eat conspi racy to make Gaius C alpurni usPiso em p eror in 6 5 reveals th e diversity of h is enemi es--senators ,knights , officers, an d philosophe r s. Tha t the conspirac y include dmilitary offic ers wa s an ominou s sign, but Ner o did not g ive w ay topani c ; slaves kep t him out of dange r by warnin g him of plot s tha t werehat ching among the i r masters. An d he did no t altoget her ab andon hislenient a ttitude. Out o f 41 par ticipant s i n th e Piso conspiracy , only 18died (in cludi ng Seneca an d th e poet Lucan), eith er by order o r fr o m fear;the othe r s were exiled or pardo ned.


At the end of the year 66, Nero undertook a long vi s i t t o G reece that wasto keep him away fro m Rome fo r 1 5 mo nths , an d during his absence heentrusted the con sula te t o on e of hi s freedmen . On this trip Nero engag edi n new d ispla ys of hi s artistic prowess, and he walke d ab out garb e d a s anasceti c, barefoot and with flowin g hair . His ent husias m for Gree k culturealso prompt e d him t o free a num ber o f Greek citie s in honour of t heirglorio us past. In t he fou r months fo ll owing his re turn to Rom e inFebruary 6 8, hi s delirious prete nsions a s both an ar tist and a r el igious worshiper arouse d th e enmity not on ly of the Senat e and th ose patriciansw h o had bee n dispo ssessed by him b ut also o f the Italia n mid dle class,whic h had old-fashion ed moral v iew s an d which fu rnished mos t of theofficers o f the army . Eve n the common so ldiers o f the legion s were scandalize d t o see the descendan t o f Caesar publicly perf orm on sta g e theparts not on l y o f ancient Greek heroes b ut of fa r lo wer characters . "Ihav e seen him on stage," Ga ius Ju liu s V index, the l egate wh o rebelledagainst him, w as t o say, "pl aying preg nant wome n and slave s about to b ee xecuted."


At the news of revolts brewing throughout the empire- - t h a t of theprovincial governor Serviu s Sulpicius Gal b a i n S pa in, the rebellion ofthe provincial governor Ju li us V inde x a t Lyon i n Gaul (France), andothers on th e ea ster n fron tier --Nero only laughed and indulged in f urthe r meg alomani aca l displays instead of taking action . "I h ave on ly to ap pear and sing to have peac e once mo re in G aul," h e is repo rte d to have said.Meanwhile, th e revol t spread a nd the leg io n s made Galba emperor; th eSenat e condemned N ero to di e a s lave's death: on a cro ss an d under t hewhip . The Prae toria n Guard, his palac e guard , abandoned him , and hisfree dmen l eft to emba r k on th e ships he kept i n readiness a t Ostia , thepor t of Rome . Nero was obliged t o flee the c i ty. Acco rdin g to Sueto nius, he stabbed himse lf in the throa t wi t h a dagger. Acc ording to anot hervers ion (recounte d b y Taci tus and almo st certainly fiction) h e reachedth e Gree k islan ds, w her e the following year (69 ) the gov ernor o f Cythnos( moder n Kíthnos) recognized hi m in th e gu ise o f a red-hair e d prophet andleader of th e poor , had him arre sted, an d exec uted the sentenc e tha t had been passed by th e Sena te.


The Roman populace and the Praetorian Guard later c a m e t o r egret thatthey had lost such a lib eral patron , b u t t o hi s subjects in general, Nerohad been a tyrant , a n d th e revol t his misrul e provoked sparked a series of c iv il wa rs tha t for a time threatened the survival o f th e Ro ma n E mpirean d caused widespread misery.
