As ever, Nero breaks rules. To be sure, his public portraits start out emphasizing his good old-fashioned Julio-Claudian boy status. He has the Augustus haircut and facial features grafted on. He maintains this look through his early reign. /10

I'll make an exception for the BBC version of I, CLAUDIUS because the fact that it depicts the entire Julio-Claudian dynasty as a clan of catty posh Brits is very much part of what makes it so great.
