Name: Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus
son of Antonia and Drusus
not advanced because of his deformities
is made consul under his nephew Gaius
becomes emperor in AD 41
ruled by wives and freedmen
allegedly poisoned by his 4th wife, Agrippina in AD 54
REALITY CHECK:
Derek Jacobi IS Claudius. His resemblance to the bust is astounding. His portrayal of Claudius is too sympathetic- making Claudius' vices seem nothing more than eccentricities.
