Claudius

About Claudius

Claudius, Roman Emperor from 41 to 54 CE, overcame physical disabilities and political obstacles, including a stutter and limp, to become a highly effective ruler. As a politician, his tenure saw significant expansion of the Empire, including the successful conquest of Britain, and major public works, such as the construction of new aqueducts and the expansion of the port of Ostia, solidifying his standing as the 457th most historically important figure according to the Pantheon project.

His current digital footprint presents a mild attention gap relative to his historical significance. Claudius garnered approximately 713K Wikipedia views in 2025, resulting in an Attention Gap score of about 1x, suggesting his online visibility is roughly commensurate with his established historical rank. However, a comparison to contemporary politicians highlights a discrepancy: Claudius receives substantially fewer views than Bill Clinton (6.6M views, HPI #704) and even Herod the Great (1.2M views, HPI #503), despite being ranked considerably higher in historical importance than both.

Despite his overall moderate attention score, the data suggests a slight waning of digital interest; his 2025 views saw a year-over-year decrease of 20.8%, and his quarterly momentum between Q1 and Q3 was negative at -7%, indicating a gradual decline in modern internet engagement.
