Claudius, 25 January 41 - 13 October 54 A.D.
|Jyrki| |Muona| |Collection|, |Claudius,| |25| |January| |41| |-| |13| |October| |54| |A.D.|, Minerva was ancient even to the Romans. She was of Italian or Etruscan origin and directly identified with the Greek Athena. Although a war goddess, she was also the patron of handicrafts and of wisdom. The latter is probably what made her attractive to Claudius who reportedly authored several histories, none of which, unfortunately, have survived.
