1976 - 10 hour series in 12 parts.
Based on the novels of Robert Graves who in 1934 published his most commercially successful work, I, Claudius.
Using classical sources, he constructed a complex and compelling tale of the life of the Roman emperor Claudius, a tale extended in the sequel Claudius the God.
I, Claudius received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1934. Later, in the 1970s, the Claudius books were turned into the very popular television series I, Claudius, with Sir Derek Jacobi shown in both Britain and United States.
If you enjoy historical drama, seek this out. I love these historical/period dramas. They bring to life long ago
Societies.
