  i'm not familiar with the movie, but i'm pretty damn sure that Tiberius wasn't related to Julius.
  
  Tiberius wasn't even related to Augustus except by marriage. he was Livia's son by a previous marriage.
  perhaps the connection is a remote one through a third cousin twice removed etc, etc, etc...

      so i guess the question becomes 'is an adopted son of an adopted son' a direct relative?
      
      in my opinion, no.
