Description
His exploits cause him to be shipwrecked off Malta, and he loses his memory. Still, he eventually returns to Rome, where he is encouraged by the then Emperor Augustus, who asks Claudius to design an arena to the envy of the world.
He is a gladiator, not an architect; he knows what he wants but cannot put it into practice. A ghost has been following him all his life, aiding him where necessary, and she provides him with the answer.
The Colosseum was not built until after his death, and then Emperor Vespasian did not give credit to Claudius.
