The Julio-Claudian Era in the history of the [[Roman Empire]] is the period when the empire was ruled by members of two families closely connected by political marriages, the Julians and the Claudians. These formed the very first dynasty of Romam emperors, and saw the transition from republican government to the imperial system. Its members are by far the most well-known emperors, and even today most of their names are still familiar to the general public - often for reasons of tyranny and madness (though this is most certainly unfair on some of them).
