Julio-Claudian Emperors Four Emperors who ruled from A.D. 14 to A.D. 68 Each was a member of Augustus’ family Each showed promise, but later revealed great faults 1. Tiberius 2. Caligula 3. Claudius 4. Nero

Tiberius Augustus’ adopted son Spoiled his reign by accusing many innocent people of treason against him Accused Roman men and women of many silly crimes that led to capital punishment and confiscation of the criminal's estate. Tiberius left his role as Emperor May have been slowly poisoned by Caligula

Caligula Tiberius’ grand-nephew Started reign in A.D. 37 Mentally disturbed and was killed by a palace guard in A.D. 41 Favored racehorse, Incitatus, was invited to dinner, considered a guest of honor at dinner parties, and referred to by Caligula as a being that talked to him Caligula is rumored to have made him a part of the Senate

Claudius Caligula’s uncle Renowned scholar Difficulty in focusing on affairs of state

Roman Empire at Claudius’ death

Nero Claudius’ stepson Became emperor in A.D.54 Cruel and probably insane Bankrupt Rome to pay for horseracing and music Suspected plots against him, so…killed his wife and mother and had many senators executed A.D. 68 Senate sentenced him to death for treason

The Good Emperors 28 years following Nero’s death, Rome was governed by ineffective emperors A.D. 96 introduction of the first “Good Emperor”- Nerva Good Emperors included: –Trajan –Hadrian –Antoninus Pius –Marcus Aurelius

Roman Law By A.D. 200’s- almost all free males in empire had been made full citizens of Rome Stressed authority of state over the individual Gave people definite legal rights- “Innocent until proven guilty” Roman system of law formed basis of legal system of Western nations (Including the United States!!)

Roman Imperial Army Maintained professional army Augustus reduced number of legions and recruited people from conquered provinces Emperor could count on having 300,000 troops- Not enough to protect empire’s border of 4,000 miles A.D invasions of people outside empire a serious problem

Pax Romana “Roman Peace” Lasted for 200 years While majority of Rome was poor- their lives became better Rich- Held Public Office, owned large farms, ran factories Poor- Most of Rome, sometimes could make their lives better, bathed in public areas Expansion and solidification of Roman Empire, particularly in the Near East

Public Amusements Poor did not rebel against government b/c offered them free bread and free entertainment A.D celebrate 130 holidays a year Chariot races in Circus Maximus Gladiator fights in the Colosseum
