- The Julio-Claudian dynasty was the first dynasty to rule the Roman Empire. Octavian, the adopted son of the Dictator for life of the Roman Republic, Julius Caesar, became the first emperor of Rome after defeating Julius Caesar’s enemies after his assassination, and the senate changed his name, upon ascension to the throne, to Augustus. The Julio-Claudian dynasty consisted of five emperors: Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and finally Nero.
Octavian (later given the title of Augustus) was the first emperor of Rome. Augustus’ reign was a golden age for Rome. He restored and kept the peace in the Empire (the Pax Romana) which allowed the economy, the arts, culture, and agriculture to flourish. Tiberius, the second emperor of Rome didn’t really seem to want to be emperor after his adoptive father, but that was the path chosen for him by his mother and Augustus’ third wife Livia Drusilla. During his time as emperor, Tiberius became increasingly paranoid and cruel, and he ordered many tried for treason based on his often unreasonable fears.
At the beginning of Caligula’s reign, he finished off many of the building projects started by Tiberius as well as increased the number of public games and festivals. After only four years on the throne, Caligula was murdered in 41 CE by his own guard and Claudius, the man often ridiculed by Caligula, became the next Roman emperor. He had Caligula’s assassins executed and brought relative peace to Rome. In 54 CE Nero took the throne of the Roman empire and went about cancelling many of Caludius’ decrees and edicts. After the death of Nero, the Juli0-Claudian Dynasty came to an end.

Do you believe emperors like Caligula and Nero were as bad as they say?
I don't think so. Given the context, the stories sound like the product of politics.
Maybe it's bad or good, depending on our perspective
Yes
Thank you for sharing this on a key period of ancient history.
Thank you for watching!
Interesting and informative video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Steven!
Very interesting. I’m surprised you hadn’t made a video in remembrance of Nick Barksdale from the Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages, passing away, since you’ve worked with him on history videos before.
Awesome video 👌 Thanks for the effort
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Nero's mother was Agrippina the Younger, not Agrippina the Elder
That's correct. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Es irónico como una de las eras mas gloriosas del Imperio Romano fue una de los Césares mas depravados. Great content señorita 🧐
informative
Thanks, Davlavi!
