Claudius was the fifth caesar of ancient rome.
See below for the list of the 12
Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Titus and Domitian are generally regarded as "The twelve Caesars". Nero was the end of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Vespasian, Titus and Domitian were actually a separate dynasty called the Flavians. By the time of Emperor Domitian the name "Caesar" was no longer being used as a family name but rather as a title meaning "leader".
The Twelve Caesars are also regarded as a group because the historian Suetonius wrote biographies for these twelve and no more.

Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus
Claudius suffered from various physical infirmities which many thought reflected his mental state. As a result, Claudius was secluded, a fact that kept him safe. Having no public duties to perform, Claudius was free to pursue his interests. His first public office came at the age of 46. Claudius became emperor shortly after his nephew was assassinated by his bodyguard, on January 24, A.D. 41. The tradition is that Claudius was found by some of the Praetorian Guard hiding behind a curtain. The guard hailed him as emperor. After adopting his fourth wife's son, L. Domitius Ahenobarbus (Nero), in A.D. 50, Claudius made it clear that Nero was preferred for the succession over his own son, Britannicus. Tradition has it that Claudius' wife Agrippina, now secure in her son's future, killed her husband by means of a poison mushroom on October 13, A.D. 54.
