Tiberius Claudius Nero

Tiberius Claudius Nero was a Roman politician and praetor in the first century BC, a senator in an age when the Republic was collapsing into something else. He married Livia Drusilla and fathered a son, also named Tiberius. Then Livia divorced him to marry Augustus, the future emperor, taking the child with her. That boy grew up in Augustus's household and eventually succeeded him as Rome's second emperor. Tiberius Claudius Nero died in 33 BC, his bloodline elevated by a marriage he lost.
