Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, 10 BC - AD 54. Fourth Roman emperor. After Caligula was assassinated in a conspiracy involving the Praetorian commander Cassius Chaerea and several senators, Claudius who probably knew of the plot but had no direct hand in it, witnessed the guards execute several noblemen including his friends and fled to the palace to hide where a Praetorian named Gratus found him behind a curtain and declared him princeps or emperor.
