There are two groups under the name Claudius. 1 - Claudius is a band formed in 2002 in Oulu, Finland, which plays electroacoustic rock music which may bring to mind the music of Kauko Röyhkä, Absoluuttinen nollapiste, Maritta Kuula and others. 2 - Claudius is an electronic / hip hop duo from Las Vegas. Their music generally follows no structure, so when listening most people aren't turned on towards it. Most of the music written is about people the group hates <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Claudius">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus ( ; ; 1 August 10 BC – 13 October AD 54), or Claudius, was a Roman emperor, ruling from AD 41 to 54. A member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, Claudius was born to Drusus and Antonia Minor at Lugdunum in Roman Gaul, where his father was stationed as a military legate. He was the first Roman emperor to be born outside Italy.
As he had a limp, a stammer, and a tremor due to an illness he suffered when young, Claudius was ostracized by his family and was excluded from public office until his consulship (which was shared with his nephew, Caligula, in 37). His infirmity probably saved him from the fate of many other nobles during the purges throughout the reigns of Tiberius and Caligula, as potential enemies did not see him as a serious threat. His survival led to him being declared emperor by the Praetorian Guard after Caligula's assassination, at which point he was the last adult male of his family.
