This Day in Ancient History

On this day in 54 AD, the Emperor Claudius is poisoned, probably by his wife Agrippina so her son Nero could become Emperor. That didn't work out so well. If you haven't already read them, Robert Graves' I, Claudius and Claudius the God are the best historical novels I have ever read.

The series was very good too. Really good books, though.
