Produktinformationen "The Reluctant Emperor: Claudius"
Dismissed as a fool and overshadowed by the grandeur of his imperial lineage, Claudius was the last man anyone expected to ascend the throne of Rome. Yet, in the wake of chaos and betrayal, this unlikely figure defied expectations, becoming one of Rome's most transformative emperors. Umberto Botti brings to life the captivating story of Claudius—a scholar in a world of warriors, a reformer in an age of tradition, and a survivor amidst the deadly intrigues of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. From his unlikely rise to power after the assassination of Caligula to his groundbreaking reforms that reshaped Rome’s bureaucracy and infrastruc-ture, Claudius’s reign was a testament to resilience, intellect, and adaptability. Discover how an outsider, underestimated and ridiculed, seized the reins of an empire and forever altered the course of Roman history. With meticulous research and compelling narrative, The Reluctant Emperor sheds light on the paradoxical legacy of a man who balanced scholarly pursuits with political acumen and turned personal vulnerabilities into the foundation of imperial strength. Perfect for history enthusiasts and lovers of ancient intrigue, this book is a testament to the enduring power of perseverance in the face of adversity.
