I keep thinking about my intro to Roman archeology class in which we had to write an essay on how the building projects of each of the Julio-Claudian emperors reflected their personalities. Then I heave a heavy sigh.

No it was pretty underwhelming, the OpenAI offices are cool, quite open and fairly large and you can walk between and around the two main buildings, but Anthropic is just a half-hidden lobby downtown without even a single claudian characteristic to it.

Agrippina the Elder
(Vipsania) Agrippina the Elder was a prominent member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. She was the daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Augustus' daughter, Julia the Elder. Her brothers Lucius and Gaius Caesar were the adoptive sons of Augustus, and were his heirs until their deaths in AD 2 and 4, respectively. Following their deaths, her second cousin Germanicus was made the adoptive son of Tiberius, Augustus' stepson, as part of the succession scheme in the adoptions of AD 4. As a result of the adoption, Agrippina was wed to Germanicus in order to bring him closer to the Julian family.

#EpigraphyTuesday offers us a shattered and recomposed slab of Luni marble from the #Forum of #Augustus in #Rome. Its #inscription has been somewhat devoured by the human termites who ran the lime kilns but is easily legible as a statue dedication to #Drusus #Germanicus. #AncientBluesky 🏺

"Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus, son of Tiberius, consul, urban praetor, quaestor, augur, acclaimed as commander in Germany". This is the fragmented statue base of a member of the Claudian gens absorbed into the family of Augustus, the great military hero Drusus, second son of Livia, wife of Augustus, by her first marriage to Tiberius Claudius. Drusus had a hugely successful military career and held civil office. He was acclaimed as imperator by his troops after they defeated the German tribe of the Cherusci in 11 BCE. He died two years later and was commemorated in the part of the Forum of Augustus dedicated to his family.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y2ps7or6drwz3yuvelv6glai/bafkreibt4mefur4h46qcy3c7um6fmud7owyljrnhvkctwo4hiainmlacem@jpeg)

His Hadrian had a slight touch of Claudian hesitation, so the fact that I’d devoured that series as a kid helped hugely in getting his timbre right

One of the Julio-Claudian Emperors was nicknamed after the little boots he wore as a child on the march with the army, and we still call him by that name today.

Though after the chaotic end of the Claudian dynasty (Nero), The Empire floundered until General Vespasian took power and started the Flavian Dynasty (and built the Colosseum for the people on the site of Nero's imperial pleasure palace). There is still hope.

In celebration of finding, after two months, the already-opened packet of exotic Eastern spices (ex-Kalustyan's on Third Ave in "Curry Hill") which I had secreted in Livia's ancient Maxwell House Instant jar (background, which formerly held her Claudian pie-beans), Antonia & I had the Betz wine.
