How did Claudius the emperor of rome come to power?

After the assassination of Caligula the praetorian guard was looking around for another member of the imperial family to be emperor. There is a story that they found Claudius hiding behind a drape and hailed him emperor. While this could possibly be true, it's more than likely that they were paid a huge bribe to establish Claudius as ruler.After the assassination of Caligula the praetorian guard was looking around for another member of the imperial family to be emperor.

Who chose claudius to be emperor?

As the story goes, the praetorian guard found Claudius hiding behind a drape and recognizing him as a member of the imperial family, took him to the praetorian camp where he was proclaimed emperor. It is assumed by many historians that a healthy bribe aided in the selection of Claudius.


When did Mark Antony become emperor?

Mark Antony never became emperor, as we use the term today. The title "imperator" originally was an honor bestowed on military commanders by the legions after great victories. Many Roman generals were declared imperator by troops, including Mark Antony who ruled as a member of a triumvirate that included Octavian (Ceasar's adopted son and heir) but they had a falling out and later led opposing factions in a civil war. Antony committed suicide after his defeat by Octavian, who cooped the name imperator (from which our emperor derives) as a substitute for king which had negative connotations for the Roman people. Roman dictators served for a set period of years and the office was not hereditary; thus, that office did not suite the purposes of Octavian (later known as Augustus). He had the Roman senate declare him emperor with all the powers of a king, eventually including the hereditary right to pass on his office to his chosen heir. Antony never held sole power equivalent to a king as did Augustus.
