 Roman Emperors - DIR Augustus
In the sphere of external affairs, many of the army's conquests were formed into new provinces, especially along the south shore of the Danube (Moesia, Pannonia, Noricum, and Raetia) and the Alps (Alpes Cottiae and Maritimae).
In the East and in Mauretania in North Africa, client kingdoms and principalities were allowed to exist, sometimes in very complex arrangements, as with the Tetrarchs in Palestine or the numerous lesser kingdoms that dotted the interior and eastern reaches of Asia Minor.
From 27 BC onward these provinces were divided into those that fell into the vast provincia of Augustus (the "imperial" provinces) and those that were retained by the senate and people (the "senatorial" or "public" provinces; see above, "From Octavian to Augutus: A New Order Established").

 Cleopatra Selene queen of Mauretania
She cannot be the Jewish Drusilla, who was maternal granddaughter of a marriage between the nephew of Herod the Great and his daughter, and so cannot be a descendant of Antony and Cleopatra.
This suggests that Drusilla was born shortly after the death of a prominent member of the imperial family for whom she was named.
On either chronology, Drusilla must be a great-granddaughter of Antony and Cleopatra, and almost certainly a daughter of Ptolemy rather than of his sister.

 Caligula - Crystalinks
Caligula is often accused of having sexual relations with his sisters, most notably his younger sister Drusilla, but there was never any concrete proof to support that.
Caligula was born as Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus on August 31, 12 AD, at the resort of Antium (modern Anzio), the third of six children born to Augustus¹s adopted grandson, Germanicus, and Augustus¹s granddaughter, Agrippina the Elder.
Caligula's enthusiasm for divine honors for himself and his favorite sister, Drusilla (who died suddenly in 38 AD and was deified), is presented in the sources as another clear sign of his madness, but it may be no more than the young autocrat tactlessly pushing the limits of the imperial cult.
