Julio-Claudian Family Tree
Nero
Nero
_Nero (Latin: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus;[1] 15 December 37 – 9 June 68),[2] was Roman Emperor from 54 to 68, and the last in the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Nero was adopted by his great-uncle Claudius
to become his heir and successor, and succeeded to the throne in 54
following Claudius' death. During his reign, Nero focused much of his
attention on diplomacy, trade, and enhancing the cultural life of the
Empire. He ordered theaters built and promoted athletic games. During
his reign, the redoubtable general Corbulo conducted a successful war and negotiated peace with the Parthian Empire. His general Suetonius Paulinus crushed a revolt in Britain and also annexed the Bosporan Kingdom to the Empire, beginning the First Roman–Jewish War.

Britannicaus
_
Tiberius Claudius Caesar Britannicus (12 February AD 41 — 11 February AD 55) was the son of the Roman emperor Claudius and his third wife Valeria Messalina. He became the heir-designate of the empire at his birth, less than a month into his father's reign. He was still a young boy at the time of his mother's downfall and Claudius' marriage to Agrippina the Younger. This allowed Agrippina's older son Nero to eclipse him in the public's mind. He lived only months into his step brother Nero's reign, murdered just before his 14th birthday. |
Claudius
_ During his reign the Empire conquered Thrace, Noricum, Pamphylia, Lycia and Judaea, and began the conquest of Britain.
He took a personal interest in law, presided at public trials, and
issued up to twenty edicts a day. However, he was seen as vulnerable
throughout his reign, particularly by the nobility. Claudius was
constantly forced to shore up his position; this resulted in the deaths
of many senators.
These events damaged his reputation among the ancient writers, though
more recent historians have revised this opinion. After his death in 54,
his grand-nephew and adopted son Nero succeeded him as Emperor.
