"Tiberius" was Roman Emperor from 14 AD to 37 AD. Born "Tiberius Claudius Nero", a Claudia (gens)/Claudian, Tiberius was the son of Tiberius Nero/Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia/Livia Drusilla. His mother divorced Nero and married Augustus in 39 BC, making him a step-son of Octavian.
Tiberius would later marry Augustus' daughter Julia the Elder (from his marriage to Scribonia) and even Adoption in ancient Rome/later be adopted by Augustus, by which act he officially became a Julia (gens)/Julian, bearing the name "Tiberius Julius Caesar". The subsequent emperors after Tiberius would continue this blended dynasty of both families for the next forty years; historians have named it the Julio-Claudian dynasty. In relations to the other emperors of this dynasty, Tiberius was the stepson of Augustus, grand-uncle of Caligula, paternal uncle of Claudius, and great-grand uncle of Nero.
