Claudius in his prime

You're Claudius!

You most resemble one of Rome's truly successful leaders.

His awkward and clumsy appearance made Claudius one of the Roman Empire's most unlikely leaders. But after the excesses of Caligula's reign, the people of Rome loved Claudius for his common sense and generosity of spirit.

Claudius was already over 50 years old when he became emperor and had taken no part in public life. His was a compassionate reign in which laws were passed to protect slaves, extend citizenship and increase women's rights.

By finally conquering Britain, Claudius became the first emperor since Augustus to extend the empire and succeeded where even the great Julius Caesar had failed.
