Nero ordering the death of her half-sister Claudia Octavia probably was the deciding factor for refusing to marry him. He also possibly suspected she had knowledge of the Pisonian Conspiracy of 65 C.E.
A statue depicting Claudia Antonia (30-66 CE), daughter of emperor Claudius and Aelia Paetia (adoptive sister of Sejanus).
I was actually surprised to discover that she lived that long - but then again Claudia’s descent made her a very attractive bright candidate for ambitious politicians. If Tacitus & co are to believed among the suitors were for example Cornelius Piso and emperor Nero. Latter also had her executed after Claudia refused emperor’s proposal.

*after Kreia kills the Jedi masters*
The Exile: But WHY?!
Kreia: You were there. Vrook wanted to kill you, so I killed him, then everyone saw me kill Vrook so I killed everyone. You must end the entire order to prevent revenge killings. That's Jedi Killing 101.
Atton: Uh, I taught that class at the Korriban Academy and we never covered anything this fucked up.
I'm torn between agreeing with Atton, and laughing while picturing him as an actual teacher.
And I have a good feeling about you Vetra.
I have a good feeling about you, Ryder.

I respect Christian Dominionists’ right......to shut the fuck up about how we fallen away from being a “Christian nation”. The only reason we have “Under God” in our pledge was to show we were different from those “Godless communists”. Y’all need to re-read the First Amendment, which says that Congress shall not favor a particular religion over another.
DNI: Christian apologists.
Adrian Ivashkov: Wait! So you’re that Antony guy I read about in history class. Let’s party together!
Mark Antony: As long as this party includes gallons of wine, I’m in.
Sydney Sage: Damn it, Adrian!
Cleopatra: Just hide their car keys, and then they’ll have to call us to rescue them.
Sydney Sage: Good point.
Stories always begin the same way: There was and there was not. There is possibility in those words, the chance for hope or despair.
