It is called the Julio/Claudian dynasty because all five of the emperors of the dynasty were either Julians, Claudians or both. Augustus, a Julian, started it, but because he had no male heir, adopted Tiberius who was a Claudian. Tiberius was followed by Caligula who was a Julian and was followed by Claudius, who was both a Julian (on his mother's side) and a Claudian (on his father's side.) Nero, a Julian, followed Claudius.
