Editing Julio-Claudian family tree

{{Short description|Family tree}}
[[File:Great Cameo of France CdM Paris Bab264 white background.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|The [[Great Cameo of France]], from around 23 AD, pictures several members of the [[Julio-Claudian dynasty]]]]

Around the start of the [[Common Era]], the [[family tree]]s of the [[gens Julia]] and the [[gens Claudia]] became intertwined into the '''Julio-Claudian family tree''' as a result of marriages and adoptions.

==Descendancy of the emperors of the Julio-Claudian dynasty==
{{see also|Julii Caesares#Descendancy|Family tree of Roman emperors#27 BC – AD 192}}
The [[Julio-Claudian dynasty]] was the first [[dynasty]] of [[Roman emperor]]s. All emperors of that dynasty descended from [[Julii Caesares]] and/or from [[Claudii]]. Marriages between descendants of [[Sextus Julius Caesar (praetor 208 BC)|Sextus Julius Caesar]] and Claudii had occurred from the late stages of the [[Roman Republic]], but the intertwined Julio-Claudian family tree resulted mostly from adoptions and marriages in [[Imperial Rome]]'s first decades. Note that descendancy of the Julii Caesares before the generation of Julius Caesar's grandfather is in part conjectural, but as presented by scholars.<ref name="Smith1870p536">Smith 1870, Vol. 1 p. 536 ff.</ref>

==By generation==
In the [[Julio-Claudian dynasty]] of [[Roman emperor]]s, the lineage of the [[Julii Caesares]] was separated from those of the [[Claudii]] up to [[Augustus]]' generation. The next generation had both Claudii with a [[Julia (women of the Julii Caesares)|Julia]] as ancestor, as Claudii adopted into the Julii Caesares family. After [[Tiberius]], the remaining three emperors of the dynasty had, outside adoptions, ancestors in both the Julian and the Claudian families.

===Generation of Julius Caesar's grandfather===
Gaius Julius Caesar II and Lucius Julius Caesar II may have had [[Sextus Julius Caesar (military tribune 181 BC)|Sextus Julius Caesar, the military tribune of 181 BC]], as a common ancestor.<ref name="Smith1870p536" />

===Julius Caesar's generation===
Following [[Sulla]]'s example [[Julius Caesar]]'s and [[Pompey]]'s first marriages were with women of their own generation, later marrying women of a younger generation. After being betrothed to [[Cossutia]], Julius Caesar's first wife was [[Cornelia (wife of Caesar)|Cornelia]], the mother of [[Julia (daughter of Julius Caesar)|Julia]].<ref name="NAPIII"/> The [[Julia Minor (sister of Caesar)|younger of Caesar's two sisters]] married [[Marcus Atius Balbus]]: they were ancestors of all the Julio-Claudian emperors, apart from [[Tiberius]].<ref name="Smith1870p536" /><ref name="Meijer" /><ref name="Kamm" />

This is also the generation of [[Mark Antony]]'s parents.

===Generation of Julius Caesar's daughter===
By this time marriages with a political agenda among the powerful families were in full swing, however not yet between Julii Caesares and Claudii. [[Pompey]] married [[Julia (daughter of Julius Caesar)|Julius Caesar's daughter Julia]]. [[Pompeia (wife of Julius Caesar)|Julius Caesar's second wife Pompeia]], possibly a great-granddaughter of Lucius Julius Caesar II, was a granddaughter of [[Sulla]]. [[Calpurnia (wife of Caesar)|His third wife Calpurnia]] is said to be younger than his daughter. His son [[Caesarion]] resulted from his relation with [[Cleopatra]].<ref name="Smith1870p536" />

[[Atia (mother of Augustus)|Atia]], the daughter of Julius Caesar's sister, married [[Gaius Octavius (praetor 61 BC)|Gaius Octavius]]: they became the parents of the [[Augustus|first emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, then still called Octavianus]]. Their daughter [[Octavia the Younger]] became an ancestor to the last three emperors of that dynasty. In this generation [[Mark Antony]] had children by, among others, Antonia Hybrida Minor, and [[Fulvia]].<ref name="Meijer" /><ref name="Kamm" />

===Generation of the Octavias===
The [[Claudii]] were a powerful [[gens]] with consuls and other high ranking politicians in several of its families across several generations. In this generation the first marriages between Claudii and descendants of the [[Julii Caesares]] took place. This however didn't mean yet that the dynastic family trees of both gentes got merged into a single one: that didn't happen until the adoption of Claudii by (adopted) Julii Caesares in the generations to come.

[[Octavia the Younger]]'s first husband was a Claudius from the Marcelli family. [[Claudia (wife of Octavian)|Claudia]], descending from Claudii, became the first wife of [[Octavian]], who by then was adopted in the Julii Caesares family by the testament of his uncle [[Julius Caesar]]. After her first husband's death, Octavia married [[Mark Antony]], who besides the offspring of his first three marriages had had children by [[Cleopatra]].

Augustus daughter [[Julia the Elder]]'s first marriage was to [[Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa]]; their daughter [[Julia the Younger]] married [[Lucius Aemilius Paullus (consul 1)|Lucius Aemilius Paullus]]; their youngest child was [[Junia Lepida]] married to [[Gaius Cassius Longinus (consul AD 30)]]. Junia and Gaius granddaughter [[Domitia Longina]] married twice: 1) [[Lucius Aelius Lamia Plautius Aelianus]] and 2) Emperor  [[Domitian]] of the [[Flavian dynasty]]. Issue from Domitia Longina first marriage was [[Lucius Fundanius Lamia Aelianus]]<ref>''Historia Augusta'', Antoninus Pius 1.7; translated by Anthony Birley, ''Lives of the Later Caesars'' (Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1976), p. 96</ref> and [[Plautia (mother of Aelius Caesar)|Plautia]], their children married into the [[Antonine dynasty]].

===Agrippina the Elder's generation===
Without son, [[Augustus]] had adopted his grandsons (by [[Julia the Elder|his only daughter Julia]]) [[Gaius Caesar|Gaius]], [[Lucius Caesar|Lucius]] and [[Agrippa Postumus|Postumus]], and his stepson [[Tiberius]], in order to ensure an heir and successor. Around the time of his death only Tiberius remained and he became the next emperor. Tiberius, a [[Claudii|Claudius]] by birth had become one of the [[Julii Caesares]] by adoption: from this moment this first dynasty of Roman emperors was both Julian and Claudian. The further emperors of this dynasty had both Julian and Claudian ancestors.

===Poppaea Sabina's generation===
