Can’t remember if I shared these before, but a couple of years ago I started these little many cartoons based around a podcast I was listening too about the TV show I, Claudius based on the books I, Claudius and Claudius the God by Robert Graves.
If you have never watched I, Claudius…you should, it’s fun and classic British/BBC drama from the 1970s with a STACKED cast.
Stratford Johns as Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso
John Rhys-Davies as Naevius Sutorius Macro
Among SO many more!
Queen of Poison
Now, I never finished the cartoon series but it is called: “Livia Did It.”
So, for today’s post I want to share them with you guys because they will help lead into what I plan to post on Friday.
Enjoy!
Goodbye Augustus’s designated heir and nephew through his sister Octavia: Marcus Claudius Marcellus.
Goodbye Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, Augustus’s friend, son-in-law, general and at one time possible heir.
Goodbye Nero Claudius Drusus, Tiberius’s brother and possible “republican” sympathizer who wanted a return to Roman Republic. Possibly.
So long Lucius Caesar, Augustus’s grandson through his daughter Julia and her husband Marcus Agrippa.
So long Gaius Caesar, brother of Lucius Caesar, Augustus’s grandson through his daughter Julia and her husbandMarcus Agrippa.
Should I return and finish the series? Let me know.
Stay tuned for tomorrow when there will a semi-related post about Roman Emperors and product placement. It will be fun. So come back for it.
