About this episode
Claudius (10 BC to AD 54) was the unlikeliest of aspirants to the Roman imperium. He suffered from what was probably Cerebral Palsy, which effected his speech and movements, was reviled by his family, and spent much of his life gambling and womanizing.
Unlicensed historians Andrew Heaton and Andrew Young investigate the longshot emperor.
