If only I had learned to identify #mushrooms, we could have ourselves a party.

Would it be a #Caligula type party, or a #Claudius type party? Only luck could tell.

Britannicus (41-55 CE) was the second child and only son born to the Roman emperor Claudius (r. 41-54 CE) and Valeria Messalina (c. 20-48 CE). Seen as a threat by Claudius' fourth wife, Agrippina the Younger (15-59 CE), and her son, the future Nero (r. 54-68 CE), Britannicus was poisoned the night before his 14th birthday. #History #ValeriaMessalina #Nero #Claudius #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Britannicus/

Lettering: Claudian letters. The Roman emperor Claudius introduced three new letters to the Latin alphabet, one being the 'turned F' or digamma. A few examples of this survive on inscriptions of the time but not the others:

This example, about 20 cms high, was in an exhibition at the Colisseum in Rome in 2011.

Use of the new letters was abandoned after the death of Claudius in AD54.

She was about 15 and beautiful, while he was over 50 and the future emperor of the Roman Empire. In 38 CE (dates vary) Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus —known to history as Claudius— married his second cousin, Valeria Messalina. This was not a marriage made in heaven; some even claim she only married him to align herself with one of the most powerful families in the empire. Whatever her reason...https://www.worldhistory.org/Valeria_Messalina/ #Claudius #ValeriaMessalina
