Biography:Roman emperor from 41 AD to 54 AD and a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
Despite his lack of experience, Claudius proved to be an able and efficient administrator, and an ambitious builder.
As he was afflicted with a limp and slight deafness due to sickness at a young age, potential enemies did not see him as a serious threat, allowing him to survive the purges under Tiberius and Caligula.
