Hello Everyone this is a timeline of the Roman Empire if Britannicus if he had succeeded his father Claudius and not Nero.
Chapter 1
October 14th, 54AD
CURIA JULIA, ROME
The Senators that were available all sat in the Curia Julia, in the room with the Senate were a century of Praetorian Guard with the Prefect of the guard Sextus Afranius Burrus commanding them. The Praetorians were their for one reason, that reason were the 3 people that were seperated by two groups of the guards. They were the natural son of deceased Emperor Claudius, Tiberius Claudius Britannicus Caesar, the adopted son of Claudius, Nero Claudius Germanicus, and his mother daughter of General Germanicus and empress of Rome Agrippina.
The day before on October 13th, the Emperor had died. Narcissus had been caught trying to burn Claudius's will, he now was crucified in front of the palace of the Emperor.
The Consul Marcus Asinius Marcellus stood from the Curule Chair the seat of the consuls. "Senators of Rome!" He began. As he spoke his words were spoken outside of the Curia Julia to the people of Rome who awaited news of the Emperors will.
"In the words of the Desceased Emperor Claudius, to the Citizens of Rome shall recieve a payment of 50 Denari. And to my loyal Praetorians a stipend of 1000 Denari to every soldier for their loyalty and service and to the legionaries of Rome a payment of 1 years wages to every man. This shall be doiled out in the name of my son Tiberius Claudius Britannicus. The Praetorians are to transfer their loyalty to my son and Hier Britannicus who is to take my place as Emperor"
Britannicus was only 13 and was startled by the screach of rage that came from his right, from Agrippina as all her hard work to make her son Emperor to include murdering Claudius came undone. Nero managed to break through the unsuspecting Praetorians who were listening to the Consul and charged Britannicus. His hands grasped Britannicus's throat and the 16 year old Nero overpowered Britannicus. As he choked Britannicus a knee slammed into his groin and Nero fell away from Britannicus holding his groin Britannicus who was laying on the ground regaining his breath watched as both Agrippina and Nero were held by the Praetorians. The Senators all smiled as they watched the boy who was now Emperor hit his adopted brother in the groin ending the struggle. Many of them were threatened by Nero and Agrippina and would support the young boy.
The Consul Marcellus continued. "Once again, as Claudius states in his will. Agrippina is no longer his wife, and Nero is disowned and no longer his son! Senate of Rome honor my will and guide my son Britannicus through his reign as u have me!" Marcellus looked upon the boy who was now their focus. " Senate of Rome what do u say to the will of Augustus Claudius?"
Their was Silence suddenly two men spoke. Both were men that Agrippina had threatened. Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, and Titus Flavius Vespasian. "Claudius has given his will and let us follow it!" Vespasian spoke simply, Claudius was the reason he was a famous commander. Corbulo nodded his accent. Another one stood it was Senator Lucius Annaeus Seneca tutor of both Britannicus and Nero.
"I have personally taught the young Caesar, and i will say he is a brilliant young man, he has learned he lessons well and is showing vast promise in everything needed to lead an Empire. Be it Military or Administrative i also say let him become our Augustus. With a group of advisors the Empire will prosper and so will the Senate and People of Rome!"
Only moments after this the entire senate rose to their feet and together shouted with enthusiasm. "Ave Imperator Tiberius Claudius Britannicus Emperor of Rome!"
