Summary
Summary
Told in the form of autobiography, I, Claudius brings history to life and infuses it with all the intensity and suspense of the most exciting contemporary novels.
Considered feeble and idiotic by the Roman populace, Claudius is an embarrassment to the Imperial family. But he defies the odds and becomes emperor, much to the surprise of himself and others. His story is an eyewitness account of the Caesars who preceded him, from Augustus to Tiberius to the mad Caligula. It is also a story of assassination, betrayal, and the infamous excesses of ancient Rome.
