The Life of Tiberius Claudius Drusus Caesar

In "Life of Claudius," Roman historian Suetonius presents a vivid portrayal of the emperor, initially introduced as a boy with various health issues. While he achieved notable feats, such as leading the first invasion of Britain in a century, Suetonius depicts Claudius as a foolish figure easily influenced by others. Despite modern historians recognizing his competence, this dramatic biography, enriched with omens of his eventual assassination, significantly shaped public perception for centuries.
