Marcus Aurelius CRISPIN
He was the son of Antonia the Younger and Drusus Claudius Nero. He was born August 1, 10 BC in Lugdunum (Lyon), Gaul. He died on October 13, 54 AD after being poisoned with a treated mushroom by his wife, Agrippina. He was the third emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and reigned from 41 to 54 AD under the name of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. Claudius extended the Roman rule further into North Africa and made Britain a province. (Wurts, 1945; Low, 1960)
***********************************
Claudius married AGRIPPINA THE YOUNGER in 49 AD. As she was his niece, and their marriage would be against Roman law, he had it changed. He adopted her son Domitius and renamed him, Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus Caesar. In 53 AD Nero married Claudius's daughter, Octavia. In 50 AD the Senate voted Agrippina the title Augusta, the first prominent imperial woman to hold this title since Livia -- and the latter had only held it after Augustus's death. (Wurts, 1945; Low, 1960)
***********************************
Claudius came to power when, after Gauis' murder on January 24, 41, he was found in the palace by a soldier. He was 51 years old at the time. The Praetorian Guard made him emperor on January 25. He emphasized his friendship with the army and paid cash for his proclamation as emperor. (Low, 1960)
He was ruthless and occasionally cruel in his dealings with the Senate (who at most were ambigious toward him). Claudius annexed Mauretania and landed in southern Britain in 43 AD. Agrippa's kingdoms of Judea and Thrace were re-absorbed into the Roman empire in 44 AD and the authority of provincial procurators was extended. He improved the judicial system and favored a moderate extension of Roman citizenship. He also respected tradition and revived old religious ceremonies. He reorganized the grain supply and constructed a harbor in Ostia. Claudius confirmed existing Jewish rights and priviledges and tried to protect them without provoking Egyptian nationalism. (Low, 1960)
Claudius composed 20 books of Etruscan and 8 books of Carthaginian history, all in Greek; an autobiography; and a historical treatise on the Roman alphabet with suggestions for orthographical reform - which when he bacame Emperor he tried to impliment, but was not successful. He also wrote on dice playing. All his works are lost. (Low, 1960)
