> that she was in Rome at some point and was impregnated by the emperor's father.

I guess it depends on the age difference between the man and the emperor but I assumed the emperor was referring to himself and the joke was about the emperor's wife or partner.

You're as closely related to your child as to your sibling: they share half your DNA in either case.

(This joke is clearly about the emperor's mother, though).
