I, Claudius: The BBC Makes an Anti-Epic

S1, E6: Consider the 1976 BBC production of I, Claudius, which has been credited as one of the most influential and memorable portraits of the ancient world ever to appear on the screen (big or small). Set between 24 BC and AD 54, the miniseries created an intimate look at the reigns of emperors Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, and Claudius.
