NF (thanks) sent in a very important point about Rome (which seems more important as the caffeine hits me and which I didn't notice myself) ... they seem to be referring to the future Augustus as 'Octavian' which, of course, wouldn't be his name until he was posthumusly adopted by Julius Caesar. They should be calling him Octavius. I'm adjusting my previous entries accordingly. ... on a semi-related note, I'm starting to wonder if we'll see Atia's hubby ...
