character. Would anyone like to work on this with me? I see that this character is not alone, but most Rome characters are written this way as well. I'm more than happy to have volunteers.

I removed his father's name. To begin with, his father isn't a character on Rome and secondly the link was to the real biography of the real Augustus' father. This is fiction!

you mention that Octavian was not present at the battle of Munda. However, the Knowledge (XXG) entry indicates that Octavian was in charge of the Cavalry at the rear.

I removed both Atia and Octavia as allies and this should be common sense. Naturally they would be allies unless they were enemies, in which case,
