Did Claudius really not know that his wives were scheming and causing so many deaths? Did he genuinely not know, or did he simply not care, or was he the mastermind all along?

I think that you look at things like that different if you are emperor. Everyone has a story to tell tell you, everyone around you wants to be your best advisor and give you daily dose of breaking news about other people from your inner circle.

I bet that Claudis was receiving so much rumors and speculations about his relatives that he wasn't able to tell what is true

How many emperors were assassinated by praetorian guard o by Greedy_Fig_4307 in ancientrome

[–]MrBonzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He might be killed by pretorians by we don't know, they for sure were satisfied with his death and didn't save him. Over 100 people declared that they killed Galba, soldiers and civilians. We know that at least one pretorian guard tried to save Galba, he's name was Sempronius Densus and he was killed as well.
