Emperor Claudius (Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, 10 don. e. - 54), who ruled after the vicious sadist Tiberius and the insane monster Caligula and before Nero, who was both at the same time, became the least famous of the emperors of the Julius dynasty - Claudius. But Caligula's undervalued successor turned out to be a major statesman and talented politician who was not afraid to turn the traditional political class against himself, entrusting high posts in the administration to former slaves, introducing provincial immigrants and sons of freedmen into the Senate, and passing laws in favor of women and slaves.
