Claudius

Claudius was Roman emperor from 41 BC to 54 BC . A member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, he was the son of Drusus and Antonia Minor. Claudius was born on 1 August 10 BC in Gaul (now France) into the Roman imperial family. Tiberius, the second emperor of Rome, was his uncle. Claudius suffered from physical disabilities, including a limp and a speech impediment and was therefore treated with disdain by his family, and not considered as a future emperor. When Tiberius’s successor Caligula was assassinated in January 41 AD, the Praetorian Guard found Claudius in the palace and acclaimed him as emperor. The senate held out against Claudius for two days but then accepted him, Claudius was poisoned by apgrina using poison
