Tiberius' mother was Livia, married to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Octavian). Tiberius' adopted father was Octavian, who later became the first emperor of Rome, known as Augustus. Tiberius' natural father was Tiberius Claudius Nero.

Answer: Agrippina

Claudius' brother, Germanicus was married to Agrippina the Elder. They had a daughter, Agrippina (the Younger) who got married to Claudius. So she was his niece as well as his wife.

Silius; Claudius then married Agrippina (the Younger).

Nero was the son of Agrippina (the Younger) and Caligula was Agrippina's brother. There were two Agrippinas, the Elder and the Younger. Agrippina the Elder was the mother of Agrippina the Younger.
