The Julio-Claudian dynasty is interesting not only because of how influential the changes and events of this time were, but because the entire world was constantly shaken by intrigue, political maneuvering, and sometimes, backstabbing. The idea is that each story is told by a director who can bring a specific vision to each emperor. I don't think it will work as a series, perhaps as an anthology, or a cinematic universe, I don't know. The idea is simply to cast all the emperors, and the members of their court and enemies, from Augustus to Nero, all of them.
