Julio-Claudian family tree

Around the start of the Common Era, the family trees of the gens Julia and the gens Claudia became intertwined into the Julio-Claudian family tree as a result of marriages and adoptions. Augustus, born Gaius Octavius and named primary heir of his grand-uncle Julius Caesar, would become the first Roman emperor and also the founder of the reigning Julio-Claudian dynasty in Rome.
