Legend
That is part of my point. It is based on Roman sources like the Twelve Caesars, and it knows the history (though the historiography is out of date for obvious reasons), but it has fun with it, freely deviates from it to make characters seem more real, and takes creative liberties. The aim was drama and comedy, not teaching history (I think it is a historical drama I appreciated as a history student but it wasn’t something where that is where you looked for historical information). The series especially used anachronisms to help bring it to life (particularly in characterization)I Claudius is not particularly authentic from a historical perspective. It's just massively entertaining.
