Tiberius was one of Rome's greatest generals, conquering Pannonia, Dalmatia, Raetia, and temporarily Germania laying the foundations for the northern frontier. In relations to the other emperors of this dynasty, Tiberius was the stepson of Emperor Augustus, great-uncle of Emperor Caligula, paternal uncle of Emperor Claudius, and great-great uncle of Emperor Nero. 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. Octavian would also adopt him later, by which he officially became a Julian, bearing the name Tiberius Julius Caesar. Tiberius would later marry his step-father Octavian's daughter, Julia the Elder (from his marriage to Scribonia). His mother Livia Drusilla divorced his father Tiberius Claudius Nero and married Octavian (Later known as Emperor Augustus) in 39 BC. He was also the brother of the politician and famous military commander Claudius Nero Drusus Germanicus, who received the victory title Germanicus ('the German'), which was awarded posthumously to honour his victories in Germania. Both his parents were from the house of Claudia, one of the most prominent patrician houses in Rome.
