Episode Ten: HAIL WHO?
Caligula, now totally mad, turns the imperial palace into a brothel with orgies and gambling. The empire is in financial ruin, though Caligula retains his dreams that one day the true Roman republic will be restored. Caligula taunts his court with even greater wickedness. Finally he is assassinated right in front of the eyes of Vlaudius. The soldiers, eager to justify their coup, give the crown to Claudius. At last he is the emperor of Rome, as had been prophesied.

Episode Eleven: FOOL'S LUCK
"Trust no one" is the advise Claudius receives from a valued friend as he assumes the throne. But the aging emperor is at the peak of his life. His beautiful young wife, Messalina, gives him a son and daughter, and Rome's finances improve. But his wife secretly lusts for the nobleman Appius Silanus and is determined to seduce him. Her cunning manipulations lead to an attempt on the life of Claudius -- and an order for the death of Appius.

Episode Twelve: A GOD IN COLCHESTER
While Claudius leads his army in Britain, his wife organizes a tournament of sex, challenging the Guild of Prostitutes to provide a champuion to compete with her. Claudius returns from his campaign victorius, but his wife's infidelities have made a fool of him. When she cuckolds him by "marrying" another man in a Bacchanalian feast, his public humiliation is complete. After consulting with his advisors, Claudius signs a warrant for his wife's execution.
