ARTICLES RELATED TO Roman Emperor Principate - Julio-Claudian Dynasty | | | |  Roman Emperor Principate - Julio-Claudian Dynasty: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - Julio-Claudian DynastyThe Julio-Claudian dynasty was composed of the Iulii Caesares and the Claudii Nerones, two distinguished patrician families in the waning days of the old Republic. The Iulii Caesares rose to absolute power in the Roman state in the person of the paterfamilias, Julius Caesar himself; upon his murder in 44 BC, the majority of his estate passed to his posthumously adopted son, Octavian, the grandson of Caesar's sister Julia. Octavian emerged from a series of civil wars as the sole master of the Roman world, and in January 27 BC was appoi ...

| | | | Roman Emperor Principate - Julio-Claudian Dynasty: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - Macrinus and Diadumenianus Macrinus came from an equestrian family; Dio Cassius writes that he was a Moor from Caesarea. Note that he did not style himself "Caesar", but did add "Severus" to his name and inserted Pius Felix before the title "Augustus". He raised his son Diadumenianus to be co-Emperor with him.
Macrinus ("Imp. M. Opellius Severus Macrinus P.F. Augustus"; b. M. Opellius Macrinus), 217 – 218
Diadumenianus ("Imp. Caesar M. Opellius Antoninus Dia ...

| | | | Roman Emperor Principate - Julio-Claudian Dynasty: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - Severan Dynasty Restored The Severi, in addition to being the second dynasty d'épée, are also the first Roman dynasty to have been restored to the purple. The restoration, however, brought with it a decidedly bizarre character: the first of the restored Severan Emperors, a Syrian historically known as "Elagabalus" (also seen less correctly as "Heliogabalus") was already the hereditary high priest of an Oriental sun god, Elagabal. The restored Severi were also well-known for the autocratic power exercised by three Syrian princesses as the éminences grise ...

| | | | Roman Emperor Principate - Julio-Claudian Dynasty: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - Severan Dynasty The short-lived Severan dynasty came into the purple primarily not by vote of the Senate like the Julio-Claudii but rather by the point of the sword like the Flavii. The founder of the dynasty, Lucius Septimius Severus, was descended from a provincial family from North Africa and is reputed to have kept his African accent until his death. To help bolster his hold on power, Septimius Severus identified himself with the cause of the late Pertinax (and incorporated this into his name), and was called by some "the Punic Sulla", a slur simultaneo ...

| | | | Roman Emperor Principate - Julio-Claudian Dynasty: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - Nervan-Antonine Dynasty The Nervan-Antonine dynasty was a largely artificial one, chiefly built out more of adoption than blood relations, as in the Julio-Claudian or Flavian dynasties (the first Emperor of this dynasty was an elderly, childless man, from the noble Cocceii Nervae). The Nervan-Antonine dynasty produced the famous "Five Good Emperors", and the first non-Italian Roman Emperors, the Spaniards Trajanus and Hadrianus. The Nervan-Antonine dynasty also marks the first time that an Emperor was depicted with a beard (Emperor Hadrianus), and one of the first ...

| | | | Roman Emperor Principate - Julio-Claudian Dynasty: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - Year of the Four Emperors The year 69 is often called the "Year of the Four Emperors" because it saw four usurpers successively claim the purple. The fourth Emperor is listed in the next section due to dynastic considerations.
Galba ("Ser. Galba Imp. Caesar Aug."; b. Ser. Sulpicius Galba), 68 – 69
Otho ("Imp. M. Otho Caesar Aug."; b. M. Salvius Otho), 69
Vitellius ("A. Vitellius Germ. Imp. Aug."; b. A. Vitellius), 69
Nero committed suicide on June 9, 68, to escape rebellious soldiers loyal to the disloyal Galba, g ...

| | | | Roman Emperor Principate - Julio-Claudian Dynasty: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - Flavian Dynasty The Flavian dynasty was composed of the Flavii Vespasiani, a middle-class family of plebeian stock. A relatively short-lived dynasty of 30 years, the Flavians confirmed the use of "Caesar" to confirm the hereditary nature of the Imperial dignity (Vespasian gave both his sons this rank, and is said to have informed the Senate that one of his sons would succeed him or no one would). Domitian made himself extremely unpopular by his autocratic manner, which was a departure from the traditional fiction that the Empero ...

| | | | Roman Emperor Principate - Julio-Claudian Dynasty: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - From Domitian to Severus In March 193, the Imperial dignity was quite literally and quite openly auctioned off by the mutinous Praetorian Guard, with Titus Flavius Sulpicianus (father-in-law of the slain Emperor) and Marcus Didius Julianus bidding for the Guard's support for the purple.
Pertinax ("Imp. Caesar P. Helvius Pertinax Aug."; b. P. Helvius Pertinax), 193
Didius Julianus ("Imp. Caesar M. Didius Severus Iulianus Aug."; b. M. Didius Iulianus), 193
