 BBC - History - Nero (AD 37 - 68; Roman emperor AD 54 - 68)
Nero (Tiberius Claudius Nero Caesar) was the fifth Roman emperor, in succession to his stepfather Claudius I. His weakness of character and his incompetence resulted in the first civil war for a century, and the end of the Julio-Claudian dynasty (the dynasty founded by Augustus).
Nero was born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, and was, through his mother Agrippina the Younger, the only surviving direct male descendant of Augustus.
Nero was accused, implausibly, of having started the fire, and also, less implausibly, of having 'fiddled while Rome burned' by using the burning city as a backdrop for an impromptu performance of his 'Sack of Troy'.

A.D. Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus, born in Gaul, became the third emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
Claudius was not of Julius Caesar's lineage and so, according to traditional Roman naming conventions, would not have inherited the name of Caesar.

Tiberius Caesar Augustus, born Tiberius Claudius Nero (November 16, 42 BC­March 16, AD 37), was the second Roman Emperor, from the death of Caesar Augustus in AD 14 until his own death in 37.

 Tiberius
Tiberius' failures, however seem to have been his inability to define his own role within the Principate and the roles of those around him, including the Senate.
Still, Tiberius left evidence of his own desire to be rid of the mantle of authority, being the only emperor to refuse the title 'Pater Patriae' (father of the country).
Tiberius' would be blasted by later Roman historians, all of whom would have ties to the Senatorial elite, and therefore, despite a generally solid rule (especially in terms of provincial administration), his legacy was permanently stained.

Claudius is isolated from the treachery of the Roman court during the years immediately after the death of Christ, protected by the fact that no one takes him seriously enough to want to assassinate him.
Claudius, however, is so perceptive and so full of fascinating information about the characters and their motivations, that the reader creates his/her own action scenes from the information revealed by Claudius.
Tiberius is a capable politician, soldier and administrator, but he is also a sexual degenerate, a puppet in the hands of his mother Livia, who progressively becomes a paranoid murderer and an intolerable tyrant.

 Life of Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, The : Part 2 of 2 : Claudius the God
With the same brilliance that characterized his classic I, Claudius, Robert Graves tells the dramatic story of Claudius' thirteen-year reign as Emperor of Rome.
Claudius the God shows us the splendor, vitality, and decadence of the Roman Empire through the eyes of the bemused and wry Claudius, who describes himself as a cripple, a stammerer, the fool of the royal family, whom none of his ambitious and blood-thirsty relatives considered worth the trouble of killing.
Although Claudius the God is a continuation of the fictional autobiography begun in I, Claudius, it is a complete and compelling novel in itself---a book that can be enjoyed even by those unfamiliar with its companion volume.
