Claudius The God

Claudius The God

Synopsis

Following the popularity of CSA Word's 4CD set of I Claudius , Claudius the God arrives in 2009 by popular customer demand. Claudius the God continues the story of Emperor Claudius, read in the style of a secret diary which relates his experiences of being in power and his musings on philosophical issues regarding ruling Rome and the nature of managing a general populous. Raising intelligent and thought-provoking issues, the likeable yet formidable Claudius reflects upon whether his society would benefit from ideas and practices such as free rule and the possibilities of reviving the Republic. Also involving historical characters such as his wife, The Empress Messalina, Herod Agrippa and the scheming though savvy Empress Livia, Claudius the God is a fascinating insight into the mind of a great historical figure, whilst also being a captivating discussion of the benefits and stability of centralised rule versus the concept of freedom and its virtues. An incredibly important sequel, Claudius the God is also a compelling and sympathetic self-contained semi-factual biography of one of history's most unlikely and intriguing rulers.
