Is that your opinion or that of Robert Graves who wrote “I Claudius”?
That’s the opinion of every reputable historian of Rome over the last 300 years or so.
Have you ever read ANY modern work on Roman history at all? Ever read about Claudius’ reform of the legal system? His attempts at orthographic reform? Anything?
How about his military reforms? C. Thomas, “Claudius and the Roman Army Reforms”, in: Historia, volume 53 (2004).
Claudius’ legal reforms were substantial. He greatly modified the law of treasons, suppressed informers, and checked the use of torture. He tried to restore the right of legislation to the plebs, and revived the ancient plebiscita. But he soon found, as others had found before him, that this was unworkable, and all his important legislation had to be enacted by means of Senatm consulta.
Various important public works were carried out during the reign of Claudius. The two great aqueducts, which Gaius must have the credit of commencing, were finished by Claudius. A new harbour was constructed at Ostia, which proved of the greatest utility; and efforts were made on a considerable scale to drain the Fucine Lake, though the works were not permanently successful.
During the reign of Claudius the conquest of Britain was seriously undertaken. The subjugation of the Britons, who lived in the ends of the earth, had been in the minds of many. Julius Caesar had twice attempted the conquest; Augustus had twice prepared for it; Tiberius had declared it necessary; even Gaius had set out on the expedition, though he got no further than Boulogne. Claudius determined that the work should be accomplished. Perhaps the reputed wealth of the island attracted him, more likely he was willing that his name should be associated with the adding of another province to the empire.
