Claudius (Classical Latin: [ˈklawdɪʊs], Laitin: Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus;[1][2] 1 August 10 BC – 13 October AD 54) wis Roman emperor frae 41 tae 54. A member o the Julio-Claudian dynasty, he wis the son o Drusus an Antonia Minor. He wis born at Lugdunum in Gaul an wis the first Roman Emperor tae be born ootside Italy. Acause he wis afflicted wi a limp an slicht deafness due tae sickness at a young age, his faimily ostracized him an excludit him frae public office till his consulship, shared wi his nephew Caligula in 37.
