[edit] Was Julius Caesar part of this dynasty?

Is Julius Caesar considered part of this dynasty? The article seems to contradict itself. In the first line it says that he is, but the in the second paragraph, the article says that Augustus was the founder of the dynasty. Paul August ☎ 21:12, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, Neddyseagoon, has now edited the article to eliminate the contradiction. Paul August ☎ 23:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Augustus was the true founder of the dynasty as Julius Caesar's period as consul ended in civil war, with Caesar being assasinated. It was not until the Battle of Actium in 31 BC that Octavian (Augustus) defeated Mark Antony to end the civil war. He was then declared princeps in 27 BC where he was declared Princeps by the senate that the Julio-Claudian Dynasty began.
