Could I ask if you have any books that focus on the Julio Claudian era that you’d recommend? I’m just starting to learn about it for fun!

Okay there's the classic Twelve Caesars by Suetonius if you want an ancient source. Based off of that you can read/watch the adaptation of Robert Graves' I, Claudius which covers Caesar Octavianus to the ascension of Nero

For an overview of the waning Republic through the Julio Claudians there's Sculliard's 'From the Gracchi to Nero'. I'm mostly a late Republic girly so I always have to recommend Tom Holland's Rubicon but I believe he has a book titled Pax about the Julio Claudians and I think going into the Flavians as well. I haven't read it yet but Tom Holland is up there with Mary Beard for historians whose books I will blindly recommend because they're my heroes.

And if you want a bonus niche deep dive book I would absolutely recommend The Power of Images in the Age of Augustus by Zanker

Feel free to add recommendations to this post to help anon out
