Talk:Julio-Claudian dynasty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Was Julius Caesar part of this dynasty?

Is Julius Caesar considered part of this dynasty? The article seems to contradict itself. In the first line it says that he is, but the in the second paragraph, the article says that Augustus was the founder of the dynasty. Paul August ☎ 21:12, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, Neddyseagoon, has now edited the article to eliminate the contradiction. Paul August ☎ 23:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Augustus was the true founder of the dynasty as Julius Caesar's period as consul ended in civil war, with Caesar being assasinated. It was not until the Battle of Actium in 31 BC that Octavian (Augustus) defeated Mark Antony to end the civil war. He was then declared princeps in 27 BC where he was declared Princeps by the senate that the Julio-Claudian Dynasty began.

[edit] Page Errors

The Category box appears to be messed up -- I believe the History of Rome box should be below the Roman emperors by Epoch, rather than nested in successors; I would have fixed this myself except that after 15 minutes I still haven't figured out exactly how the tables and piping for categories work, and thus can't seem to fix it =( Jhaagsma 08:14, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Augustus was not a Julio-Claudian

Augustus was a Julian by adoption, and was never a Claudian. Tiberius was born a Claudian and became a Julian by adoption. Tiberius was the first Julio-Claudian Emperor.

I hope this is clear. Glaring factual error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sstreet81 (talk • contribs) 09:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
