Helpful Score: 2
The uncle of the psychopathic and frightening Roman Emperor Caligula, Claudius was 'elected' by Roman soldiers after they (at last) murdered Caligula - who was that time's Idi Amin. Only far worse.
Cladius didn't want to be Emperor and tried to hide, but his terror of the soldiers' rage was greater than his fear of the spotlight, and her served modestly and well until the end of his life. His story illuminates the the life of a man who was unprepared to rule but did an admirable job and was loved by his people. The PBS series was as excellent as Graves book.
