| | Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus - Nero Claudius Caesar |
 | | 12/15/37 A.D. Nero was the son of Agripinilla and Domitius, (Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus,) her first husband. |
 | | The death of Claudius in 54 A.D., generally thought to have been planned and carried out by his wife Agripinilla, secured for her son Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus the place as emperor which she had so carefully arranged. |
 | | Before his death, Claudius, though he already had a son Britannicus, had adopted Lucius, who changed his name to Nero Claudius Caesar, (a great-great-grandson of Augustus) at Agripinilla's instigation; instrumental too in the transfer of power was the influence of Seneca, Nero's tutor, and of Sextus Afranius Burrus, the praetorian prefect. |
