It is true that’ the Claudii were a family of evil fame, with all the darker characteristics of the Roman, and they figure in most of the tragedies of (imperial Rome)...

Moreover, in the first and second centuries of the Christian era, there were several remarkable British women bearing this name in the wake of several remarkable, but not so blameless, Roman women.
