Stemma Augusti – Giulia Gens

This stemma reports the “Principatus” founder and the development of the “Julio – Claudian” Dynasty from the side of the Julia Gens. It should be read in parallel with the Stemma Drusorum

 

The three key points are:

1) The Augustus’ posthumous adoption made by Caius Julius Caesar, his maternal uncle;

2) The Dynasty foundation, Augustus’ marriage with Livia Drusilla, already mother of Tiberius and of Nero Claudius Drusus (Drusus the Elder);

3) The power keeping by means of strategic marriages between the members of the two branches of the Dynasty; particularly successful was the union between Germanicus Caesar, son of Drusus the Elder, and Agrippina the Elder, daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and stepdaughter of Augustus.
