11 "A God in Colchester" 29/11/76
Rome, AD 47–48. Claudius leads his
troops in an invasion of Britain. Messalina's sexual excesses lead her
to challenge the well-known prostitute Scilla to a contest to see who
can take the most men in an evening; Messalina wins easily. Claudius
returns in triumph, but is devastated to learn that Herod has organized a
rebellion in the eastern provinces against his rule. Herod believes
that he is the Jewish Messiah, but dies before completing his plans.
Messalina takes Gaius Silius as her lover. They divorce their respective
spouses and marry, thinking that Rome will rally around them and
proclaim them rulers. Forced to act, Claudius' servants Pallas and
Narcissus enlist Calpurnia to tell the Emperor the truth. Claudius
believes them, and the conspirators are arrested and killed. As Claudius
mourns the fact that all whom he cared for are gone, he learns that the
Britons have dedicated a temple to him in Colchester, making him a god.
12 "Old King Log" 06/12/76
Rome, AD 54. Claudius'
benevolent rule of Rome leads the populace to accepting an emperor, but
he decides that Rome must come to hate its ruling family, overthrow it,
and restore the Republic. To do this, he marries his niece Agrippinilla
and adopts her son Nero, making him co-heir with his son Britannicus.
Because of the Sibylline prophecy Livia revealed to him (in "Queen of
Heaven"), Claudius knows that Nero will become the next ruler of Rome,
but he still tries to protect Britannicus by sending him to Britain so
that he may take over later when Nero dies. Unfortunately, Britannicus
does not believe in the Republic and demands that he be allowed to
compete with Nero. Claudius, knowing the ultimate future, must leave his
son to his fate. Ready for his end, Claudius voluntarily eats a
poisoned mushroom from his wife's fork and dies. Looking for Claudius'
will, Agrippinilla and Nero come upon his autobiography and burn it.
Lying on his bier, Claudius and the Sibyl, knowing that Britannicus,
Agripinilla and Nero will ultimately die violently, have a good laugh
over the fact that he buried another copy of his book to be found later.
Claudius is told that although the Republic won't be restored, Nero
will be last of the Claudians and most of the emperors that follow won't
be as bad.
