Claudius has changed the way senate works, giving lots of the administration work to freedmen. He also has not lived up to his predecessors fighting ways, but captured Colchester in XLIII.
There was crazy drama in XLVIII when Claudius' wife, Messallina, married the consul Silius, as a plot against the emperor. Obviously, both were put to death pretty quickly.
So Claudius has married Agrippa the Young, and took in her son, Domitius, the only surviving direct relatives to Augustus. Agrippa "persuaded" Claudius to adopt Domitius, who then changed his name to Nero.
Well, carpe diem! Enjoy todays rain!
