Julio-Claudian Dynasty Opinions?
Thread for stating your opinions of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty. I'm curious what you think of the Julio-Claudian Emperors? What were each emperor's greatest successes and failures? From what I've seen Augustus is always considered great, Caligula-Nero mostly negative controversial stuff, Tiberius-Claudius mixed reactions.
I'm most interested in the last two and as to whether Tiberius and Claudius should be considered good emperors? Tiberius was a solid commander and seems great from a financial point of view. Claudius invaded Britian and led the empire during a difficult phase. Tiberius seems to be most critcised for being out of touch and commiting strange abuses on Capri. Claduius gets hit for breaking with Augustus command not to expand the empire and for being a weak leader.
