She was the second granddaughter of the Emperor Augustus, sister-in-law, stepdaughter and daughter-in-law of the Emperor Tiberius, mother of the Emperor Caligula, maternal second cousin and sister-in-law of the Emperor Claudius and the maternal grandmother of the Emperor Nero.

Her mother ’ s marriage to Agrippa was her second marriage, as Julia the Elder was widowed from her first marriage, to her paternal cousin Marcus Claudius Marcellus and they had no children.

Livia was the first Roman Empress and was Augustus ’ third wife ( from Livia ’ s first marriage to praetor Tiberius Nero, she had two sons: the emperor Tiberius and the general Nero Claudius Drusus.

Germanicus was the first son born to Antonia Minor and Nero Claudius Drusus.

She was a great-granddaughter of the Emperor Augustus, great-niece and adoptive granddaughter of the Emperor Tiberius, sister of the Emperor Caligula, niece and fourth wife of the Emperor Claudius, and mother of the Emperor Nero.

His mother was Antonia Minor and his father was the general Nero Claudius Drusus.

Through his mother Antonia Major, Domitius was a great nephew of Augustus, first cousin to Claudius, and second cousin to Agrippina and Caligula.

In the first years of Claudius ’ reign, Claudius was married to the infamous Empress Valeria Messalina.

After Messalina was executed in 48 for conspiring with Gaius Silius to overthrow her husband, Claudius considered remarrying for the fourth time.

Claudius had a reputation that he was easily controlled by his wives and freedmen.

Another freedman, Gaius Julius Callistus, was against Claudius remarrying Paetina and stated to Claudius that he divorced her before and that remarrying Paetina would make her more arrogant.

Pallas stated to the emperor that as Lucius was the grandson to Claudius's late brother Germanicus, by marrying Agrippina, Claudius would ally the two branches of the Claudian house and imperial family.

Claudius was seduced by her passions.

In Roman society, an uncle ( Claudius ) marrying his niece ( Agrippina ) was considered incestuous, and obviously immoral.

Her marriage to Claudius was not based on love, but on power.

In the months leading up to her marriage to Claudius, Agrippina's maternal second cousin, the praetor Lucius Junius Silanus Torquatus, was betrothed to Claudius ’ daughter Claudia Octavia.

She also was a stepmother to Claudia Antonia, Claudius ' daughter and only child from his second marriage to Aelia Paetina, and to the young Claudia Octavia and Britannicus, Claudius ' children with Valeria Messalina.

Agrippina's paternal uncle, Claudius, brother of her father Germanicus, became the new Roman Emperor.

Agrippina's youngest daughter, Julia Livilla was also exiled to Pandateria twice: the first time by her brother Caligula for plotting to depose him and the next time by her uncle, the emperor Claudius, at the instigation of his wife, Messalina, in 41 AD.

After the emperor himself, the Mausoleum hosted the ashes of Livia ( Augustus ' wife ), Germanicus, Agrippina the Elder, Agrippina's daughter Julia Livilla, Nero ( son of Germanicus ), Drusus Caesar ( son of Germanicus ), Caligula, Tiberius, Drusus Julius Caesar ( son of Tiberius ), Nero Claudius Drusus and Antonia Minor ( parents of Claudius ), Claudius, Britannicus ( the son of Claudius ), the embalmed body of Poppaea Sabina wife of Nero, Julia Domna ( later moved to Mausoleum of Hadrian ), and Nerva, the last emperor for whom the mausoleum was opened.

* Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus ( consul 16 BC ), only child of the above Gnaeus Domitius and Aemilia Lepida, paternal grandfather of the Emperor Nero, maternal grandfather of Valeria Messalina ( third wife of the emperor Claudius )

His paternal grandparents were Livia, Augustus ' third wife, and Tiberius Claudius Nero.

During his reign, Claudius revived the rumor that his father Drusus was actually the illegitimate son of Augustus, to give the false appearance that Augustus was Claudius ' paternal grandfather.

# Claudius was Caligula's paternal uncle

Thus, Nero had as his paternal grandmother Antonia Maior, and also claimed more remote descent from Antonia Minor as a great-grandson — later grandson after Claudius adopted him.

His mother was an Arian, sister of Clearchus, also an Arian, and a paternal granddaughter of Gallus ( born c. 370 ), son of Anastasia ( born c. 352 ) and husband, in turn daughter of Flavius Claudius Constantius Gallus and wife and cousin Constantina.

Claudia Marcella, Messalina's paternal grandmother, was the daughter of Augustus ' sister Octavia the Younger by her marriage to Gaius Claudius Marcellus Minor.

Claudius was Caligula's paternal uncle and was becoming influential and popular.

Historical facts are also sometimes changed: in Plutarch Antony's final defeat was many weeks after the battle of Actium, and Octavia lived with Antony for several years and bore him two children: Antonia Major, paternal grandmother of the Emperor Nero and maternal grandmother of the Empress Valeria Messalina, and Antonia Minor, the sister-in-law of the Emperor Tiberius, mother of the Emperor Claudius, and paternal grandmother of the Emperor Caligula and Empress Agrippina the Younger.

He was also brother of the Emperor Tiberius, father of the Emperor Claudius, paternal grandfather of the Emperor Caligula, and maternal great-grandfather of the Emperor Nero.

He was born shortly after Livia divorced Tiberius Nero and married Augustus ( 17 January, 38 BC ), giving rise to rumours that Augustus was the real father, although this is widely discredited by modern historians as Augustus had not yet met Livia when Drusus would have been conceived ( During his reign, Claudius revived this rumor to give the impression that Augustus was his paternal grandfather in addition to being his maternal great-uncle ).

She was the mother of the emperor Tiberius, paternal grandmother of the emperor Claudius, paternal great-grandmother of the emperor Caligula, and maternal great-great grandmother of the emperor Nero.

The woman usually called Antonia the Younger was the younger niece of the Emperor Augustus, sister-in-law of the Emperor Tiberius, paternal grandmother of the Emperor Caligula and Empress Agrippina the Younger, mother of the Emperor Claudius, and both maternal great-grandmother and paternal great-aunt of the Emperor Nero.

She was a niece of the Emperor Augustus, step cousin of the Emperor Tiberius, paternal great-aunt of the Emperor Caligula, maternal aunt and great-aunt-in law of the Emperor Claudius, and paternal grandmother and maternal great-great aunt of the Emperor Nero.

Agrippina and Livilla were exiled, and returned from exile only when their paternal uncle Claudius came to power after Caligula's assassination in 41 AD.

( Claudia ) Livia Julia ( Classical Latin: ) ( c. 13 BC – 31 A. D .) was the only daughter of Nero Claudius Drusus and Antonia Minor and elder sister of the Roman Emperor Claudius and younger sister of the general Germanicus, and thus the paternal aunt of the emperor Caligula and maternal great-aunt of emperor Nero.

On the day that Agrippina married her uncle Claudius as her third husband / his fourth wife, she became an Empress and the most powerful woman in the Roman Empire.

When Augustus died in 14, Claudius — then 23 — appealed to his uncle Tiberius to allow him to begin the cursus honorum.

The conspirators ' attempt to use the opportunity to restore the Roman Republic was thwarted: on the same day the Praetorian Guard declared Caligula's uncle Claudius emperor in his place.

His uncle Claudius was spared only because Caligula kept him as a laughing stock.

They were unable to reach Caligula's uncle, Claudius, who was spirited out of the city, after being found by a soldier, to a nearby Praetorian camp.

He was born in Rome, Italia, and was named either Nero Claudius Drusus after his father or Tiberius Claudius Nero after his uncle.

However, Caligula is shown in a later episode to confess to his uncle Claudius that he killed his father in revenge for trying to discipline him, by working on his father's superstitions ( planting various ' curses ' around his father's residence ) and eventually frightening him to death-therefore, Piso and Plancina were technically innocent ( Zeus, by Jove!

Set in the Kingdom of Denmark, the play dramatizes the revenge Prince Hamlet exacts on his uncle Claudius for murdering King Hamlet, Claudius's brother and Prince Hamlet's father, and then succeeding to the throne and taking as his wife Gertrude, the old king's widow and Prince Hamlet's mother.

* Claudius – King of Denmark, and Hamlet's uncle.

The Guard then proclaims Caligula's uncle Claudius as Emperor

Claudius, Caligula's uncle, became emperor by the instigation of the Praetorian Guards.

Like his uncle Caligula before him, Nero was also a direct descendant of Augustus Caesar, a fact which made his ascension to the throne much easier and smoother than it had been for Tiberius or Claudius.

These events led Claudius, Caligula's uncle, to become emperor.

The title is a reference to the line uttered by Hamlet to Horatio after being visited by his father's ghost and learning that his uncle Claudius murdered his father ; in short, a shocking supernatural event that fundamentally alters the way Hamlet perceives the state and the universe (" The time is out of joint ; O cursed spite !/ That ever I was born to set it right!

* King Claudius: the King of Denmark, Hamlet's uncle and stepfather

In literature, evil stepfathers include Claudius in Hamlet ( though his role as uncle is more emphasized ), Murdstone in Charles Dickens's David Copperfield, the classic Twilight Zone episode " Living Doll ," the King from the movie Radio Flyer, and Gozaburo Kaiba ( who adopted Seto and Mokuba Kaiba ) from Yu-Gi-Oh !, as well as The Stepfather, films.

* Marcus Claudius C. f. C. n. Marcellus, nephew of Augustus and stepson of Marcus Antonius ; he was adopted by his uncle and married to his cousin, Julia.

Shortly afterward, Macro ( Guido Mannari ), the head of the Praetorian Guards, appears to tell the young man that his great uncle ( Tiberius ) demands that he report at once to the Island of Capri, where Tiberius has been residing for a number of years with a close friend Nerva ( John Gielgud ), a dim-witted relative Claudius ( Giancarlo Badessi ), and Caligula's younger stepbrother Gemellus ( Bruno Brive ) ( Tiberius's favorite ).
