I, CLAUDIUS

1976

 

FAMILY FEUD!
MORE SCENES & SCENE-CHEWING!

 

Claudius' sister Livilla with her husband Castor,
the Emperor's son...

...whom she betrays for the manipulative and wicked Sejanus, the Emperor's top man.

 

Sejanus' estranged wife Apicata (Kate Lansbury)
reveals the treachery of Livilla to her mother Antonia
while Claudius looks on in shock.

 

The fall of Sejanus, betrayed by his next-in-command...

....and no-one appreciates the irony more than Sejanus!

 

Stand aside, Jove - Emperor Caligula and Diva Drusilla are the New Gods On The Block!

A magic drink for Drusilla...and a warning to squeamish viewers to tune out the results!

 

Too many bread and circuses - so what if they gave an orgy and nobody came?

A Member Of The Wedding: Caligula and his favorite horse, "Senator" Incitatus.

 

The consul Silanus (Lyndon Brook) is a target of Messalina's lusts and lies, and attempts to assassinate the Emperor!

Messalina's first victory and her first murder - she convinces her husband that the target of her passions was stalking her.

 

A bored Messalina offers up a challenge to the great prostitute Scylla (Charlotte Howard) - who can wear out the most men
in one night?

The professional is worse for wear than the amateur energy of the Empress, who pays Scylla three gold pieces a head for her efforts and continues the show!

 

Claudius' friend Calpurnia (Jo Rowbottom) tearfully tells her Emperor about the bigamous marriage enacted by Messalina while he was away.

Domitia presses a dagger in her wayward, frightened daughter's hand, urging Messalina to "drive it home quickly" and thus die with honor.

 

The capture of the great British chieftain Caractacus (Peter Bowles) and his family...

...and his historic speech of pride and defiance before his captor and the Roman Senate.

 

The Empress Agrippinilla and her son Nero can scarcely contain their glee at the death of Claudius...

...but the Sibyl assures Claudius that a copy of his secret scrolls will give him the last laugh!
