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.

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.

Apart from being the late maternal grandmother of Nero, she was the late paternal grandmother of Princess Julia Drusilla, the child of Caligula.

Through Nero, Agrippina was the paternal great-grandmother of Claudia Augusta, ( Nero's only child through his second marriage to Poppaea Sabina ).

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.

Germanicus ’ father, Drusus the Elder, was the second son of the Empress Livia Drusilla by her first marriage to praetor Tiberius Nero, and was the Emperor Tiberius ’ s younger brother and Augustus ’ s stepson.

Nero was Agrippina's only natural child.

Seneca was later called back from exile to be a tutor to Nero.

Lucius ’ name was changed to Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus and he became Claudius ’ s adopted son, heir and recognised successor.

For instance, in 51, Agrippina ordered the execution of Britannicus ’ tutor Sosibius because he had confronted her and was outraged by Claudius ’ adoption of Nero and his choice of Nero as successor, instead of choosing his own son Britannicus.

Britannicus was secretly poisoned on Nero ’ s orders during a banquet in February 55.

With the reasoning that a divorce from Octavia and a marriage to Poppaea was not politically feasible with Agrippina alive, Nero decided to kill Agrippina.

Additionally, Suetonius reveals that Poppaea's husband, Otho, was not sent away by Nero until after Agrippina's death in 59, making it highly unlikely that already married Poppaea would be pressing Nero.

According to Suetonius, Nero was annoyed at his mother being too watchful and tried three times to poison Agrippina, but she took the antidotes in time and survived.

Nero then ordered captains of a different boat to ram this boat while Agrippina was aboard.

After Agrippina's death, Nero viewed her corpse and commented how beautiful she was, according to some.

Nero was more popular with the general public as the grandson of Germanicus and the direct descendant of Augustus.

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.

Although Tiberius and Claudius had male direct descendants ( Tiberius Gemellus and Britannicus, respectively ) available for the succession, their great-nephews ( Caligula and Nero, respectively ) were preferred.

Three Emperors were direct descendants of Drusus, Claudius ( his son ), Caligula ( Germanicus ' son, Drusus ' grandson ), and Nero ( Germanicus ' grandson, Drusus ' great-grandson ).

To Sejanus personally, Agrippina's sons Nero Caesar, Drusus Caesar and Caligula were considered a direct threat to his power.

The young Emperor Nero helped to direct the vigiles in fighting the flames.

In addition to direct sales, some hardware manufacturers pre-load Nero software on PCs and bundle it with camcorders, optical disc drives and other devices.

Through this second grandson, Drusus was a direct ancestor to the Roman Emperors Caligula, Claudius, and Nero.

He was a descendant of the original Tiberius Claudius Nero a consul, son of Appius Claudius Caecus the censor.

Revealing that Nero is a descendant of Sparda's blood, The Savior awakens and Nero is absorbed into it while Nero promises to Kyrie he will free them.

Claudius was born on 1 August 10 BC in Lugdunum to Nero Claudius Drusus and Antonia on the day of the dedication of the altar to Augustus at the Sanctuary of the Three Gauls.

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

Agrippina was one of the few remaining descendants of Augustus, and her son Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus ( the future Emperor Nero ) was one of the last males of the Imperial family.

Germanicus was the grandson-in-law and great-nephew of the Emperor Augustus, nephew and adoptive son of the Emperor Tiberius, father of the Emperor Caligula, brother of the Emperor Claudius, and the maternal grandfather of the Emperor Nero.

His parents were the general Nero Claudius Drusus ( son of Empress Livia Drusilla, third wife of Emperor Augustus ) and Antonia Minor ( the younger daughter of the triumvir Mark Antony and Octavia Minor, sister of Augustus ).

In AD 4, persuaded by Livia, his wife, Augustus decided in favour of Tiberius, his stepson from Livia's first marriage to Tiberius Nero.

The Julio-Claudian dynasty normally refers to the first five Roman Emperors: Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula ( also known as Gaius ), Claudius, and Nero, or the family to which they belonged ; they ruled the Roman Empire from its formation, in the second half of the 1st century ( 44 / 31 / 27 ) BC, until AD 68, when the last of the line, Nero, committed suicide.

# Tiberius was Augustus's stepson, because Tiberius's mother Livia Drusilla married Augustus as her third husband ( Tiberius and Drusus were Livia's only natural children by her first marriage to Tiberius Claudius Nero ( praetor 42 BC )).

They have, by the help of Divine Providence, overcome all obstacles, and have made themselves free ... I know not by what misfortune, we are fallen into the error of those, who poised the Emperor Titus to make room for Domitian, who made away Augustus that they might have Tiberius, and changed Claudius for Nero ... whereas the people of England are now renowned, all over the world, for their great virtue and discipline ; and yet suffer an idiot, without courage, without sense, nay, without ambition, to have dominion in a country of liberty.

Nero ( Latin: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus ; 15 December 37 – 9 June 68 ) was Roman Emperor from 54 to 68, and the last in the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Through Octavia, Nero was the grandnephew of Caesar Augustus.

Claudius died in 54 and Nero, taking the name Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, was established as Emperor.

Later in the century the Julio-Claudian dynasty, which had been founded by Augustus came to an end with the death of Nero in 68.
