That redhead (from HBO's Rome probably) is disturbingly beautiful with that hair and makeup. I can't concentrate.

I wish you were my history teacher in high school. Being able to make the important but more boring characters of history into a palatable lecture without having to resort to pomp and antics takes real talent. Thank you for teaching me about this historical figure better than anyone in the educational system ever bothered trying.

Much needed commentary on a figure who has been unjustly obscured. Thank you!

Really good and interesting video. It changes how i view Octavian, as he is often depicted as a nobody that Caesar elevated. Do you think that the capability of his father might have had an affect on Caesar choosing him as his heir?

The real question is, are we gonna get a long form dive into Caesar, Augustus, Pompey and the Julian Emperors

Oh wow... I had no idea August's father was such a capable individual. It really is a shame that we didn't get to see more of him in during the 2nd Roman civil war. Sounds like he was on his way to A tier status. Gaius Octavius dying before he made it home to celebrate his triumph, is so disheartening to hear...

I never liked the depiction of August's mother in rome eveb thought her plot in season 2 is interesting i would like more polical smart octiva though.

In real life, Augustus mother died before the battle Actium, while Burtius Mother lived a longer life.

I agree but I think the showrunner's rationale was that they needed a Livia-esque character to be the politically aware, conniving and self-interested matriarch without adding another character to an already large cast. She's basically the Cersei Lannister of HBO's Rome.

the way women in general in that show were depicted is pretty abhorrent. Cleopatra as a sex/drug addict, Augustus' mom sleeping around more than Caesar, Augustus's sister sleeping with Augustus (what is the deal with HBO series in the early 00s and incest?)

@@ThersitestheHistorian 2 is not nearly as good, in my opinion. Some kind of simplicity is lost that lets you enjoy the big picture. There is an HD version of 1 that was released recently, I highly recommend that!
