Emperor Claudius was not imprisoned. You must have got confused with Tiberius Claudius Narcissus. He was a freedman who was in the inner circle of the court of emperor Claudius. He was imprisoned and executed by Agrippina (the emperor's last wife) soon after the emperor's death. Ancient writer Tacitus said that Agrippina had him executed because he supported Britannicus (the son the emperor had with a previous wife) for the imperial succession against Nero (Agrippina's son) and plotted to bring Agrippina down and, though her her downfall, Nero.

The emperor Nero was a person with a wide variety of interests. We only get the negative side of him from the ancient writers as it was politically correct to bash Nero at the time they were writing. However even the ancient writers grudgingly give him credit for his building innovations and his city safety program after the fire. His interests ranged from poetry and the artistic, to architecture, to inventions, to medicine and to exploration. He is not given credit for these abilities because they were considered "unfitting" for an emperor or for anyone of the upper class for that matter.The emperor Nero was a person with a wide variety of interests.
