I,CLAUDIUS was filled to the brim with nudity, sexual acts, and showed less war scenes.

Having recently watched the unexpurgated DVD set, all the sex acts were implied, and not shown. There was brief female nudity in the opening scene with the african dancers, and a few shots of nekkid people from behind. Nothing like HBO.

They showed Caligula ripping the baby from his sister's womb.

Is it the BBC version, or the Bowdlerized PBS version you saw?

No, IIRC, it wasn't as graphic as the HBO version, but at the time, it WAS much more shocking.
