No, you would never guess what was passing through my mind. But I shall be frank and tell you what it was, though the confession is a shameful one. I was thinking, 'So, I'm Emperor, am I? What nonsense! But at least I'll be able to make people read my books now. Public recitals to large audiences. And good books too, thirty-five years' hard work in them. It won't be unfair. Pollio used to get attentive audiences by giving expensive dinners. He was a very sound historian, and the last of the Romans. My history of Carthage is full of amusing anecdotes. I'm sure that they'll enjoy it.”

I, Claudius 🏛️ Nobody wants to read Cladius' books

On the obverse, the bust of Claudius, crowned with laurel. On the reverse, the emperor drives a triumphal quadriga (four-horse chariot), with the inscription DE BRITANNIS (From the Britons) below.

Obverse: hportrait of Claudius. Reverse: the wreath awarded to the emperors as 'father of his country' by the Senate and People of Rome.

Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (1 August 10 BC – 13 October AD 54) was the fourth Roman emperor, ruling from AD 41 to 54. A member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, Claudius was born to Drusus and Antonia Minor at Lugdunum in Roman Gaul, where his father was stationed as a military legate. He was the first Roman emperor to be born outside Italy. Nonetheless, Claudius was an Italian of Sabine origins.

Statues of Agrippa and Augustus side by side on the Cologne City Hall. It was Agrippa who first settled the Germanic tribe of the Ubii in the area and the settlement was known as Ara Ubiorum.

Agrippa's granddaughter Agrippina the Younger was born in the town, which became an important military base, in 15 AD when her father Germanicus was campaigning against the Germans. In 50 AD on Agrippina's urging Claudius promoted it to the Colony and it was renamed Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium. Her statue is also featured on the city hall, a short space from these two.

Emperor Claudius died on this day in 54 AD.

He was 63 and had reigned for 13 years and 9 months. He was allegedly murdered by poison, either via mushrooms he ate or on a feather. His wife and niece, Agrippina the Younger, was the chief suspect.

Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, commonly known as Claudius, was the fourth Roman emperor, reigning from AD 41 to 54. He was born on August 1, 10 BC in Lugdunum, Gaul (modern-day Lyon, France). Claudius was the grandson of Triumvir Marcus Antonius through his daughter, Antonia minor. He was the first Roman emperor to be born outside of Italy. He was a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and was declared emperor by the Praetorian Guard after Caligula’s assassination. Despite his lack of experience, Claudius was an able and efficient administrator. He expanded the imperial bureaucracy to include freedmen and helped restore the empire’s finances after the excesses of Caligula’s reign. He was also an ambitious builder, constructing new roads, aqueducts, and canals across the Empire. During his reign, the Empire started its successful conquest of Britain.
