Today on @TheRestHistory, in the final episode in our series on THE LIVES OF THE CAESARS, we explore the humiliations & triumphs experienced by CLAUDIUS! Snot, spindly legs, coups, gladiators, aqueducts, ancient Britons, adultery & mushrooms all feature! linktr.ee/restishistory

It had never occurred to me Claudius might have arranged his own succession but considering he was pretty smart it makes sense. @theresthistory Is there evidence or speculation he might have exaggerated his foolishness and infirmity beforehand to make sure he wasn't seen as a threat to Caligula?
