Explore the reign of Claudius, the fourth Roman Emperor, who unexpectedly came to power in AD 41. Despite initial perceptions of his incapacity due to physical disabilities, Claudius demonstrated effective leadership, initiating significant military expansions and extensive public works, including the construction of the Port of Ostia.

His rule also marked advances in the legal system, which contributed to the stability and growth of the Roman Empire. However, his reign was marred by domestic troubles, often influenced by his marriages, particularly to his third wife Messalina and later to Agrippina the Younger, who was instrumental in positioning her son Nero as his successor.

Claudius's death in AD 54 under suspicious circumstances marked the end of his transformative yet turbulent reign. Dive into the complex legacy of an emperor who defied expectations and left a lasting imprint on Roman history. #claudius #romanempire #historicaljourney #romanhistory

Ironic that the extremely ableist Roman society benefited quite a lot (for a bit anyway) from someone they looked down on as nearly less than human.

5 million is a respectable population for way back when. That was New York City’s population about a hundred years ago.
