The celebrations also saw the introduction of two Roman teenagers onto the same stage. | <0>3018<0>805<0>3318<0>253<0>3135<0>2176<0>1901<0>3557<0>172<0>3378<0>443<0>1484<0>1484<0>389<0>3117<0>805<0>321<0>1512<0>2100<0>1394<0>4073<0>1442<0>321<0>4028<0>172<0>234<0>829<0>1009<0>1442<0>2176<0>321<0>3918<0>3918<0>1467<0>1394<0>633<0>2065<0>2637<0>235<0>2903<0>1989<0>1108<0>1488<0>321<0>3253<0>3729<0>1744<0>73<... |
Joining Octavian in his triumphal chariot were 14-year-old Marcus Claudius Marcellus, the eldest son of Octavia, and 13-year-old Tiberius Claudius Nero, Octavian's stepson. | <0>156<0>1007<0>546<0>546<0>2541<0>321<0>3729<0>192<0>1394<0>1394<0>1394<0>1408<0>1782<0>2016<0>3942<0>2648<0>2181<0>1219<0>2994<0>1074<0>2454<0>4067<0>2181<0>941<0>2004<0>3237<0>3237<0>1376<0>2370<0>443<0>562<0>4044<0>2752<0>321<0>3461<0>1532<0>172<0>1987<0>3982<0>68<0>324<0>1488<0>1370<0>3688<0>2087<0>1603<0>1192<0>3... |
There is no mistaking the dynastic implications of their prominent inclusion in the procession. | <0>2286<0>807<0>2070<0>2070<0>3135<0>1858<0>73<0>309<0>1097<0>3808<0>324<0>3224<0>2181<0>243<0>4023<0>2648<0>2741<0>1022<0>3697<0>2092<0>614<0>1919<0>793<0>1080<0>1273<0>2088<0>1029<0>3626<0>321<0>2700<0>2178<0>1192<0>2054<0>1601<0>1173<0>648<0>2339<0>2511<0>3626<0>2464<0>1688<0>1982<0>3918<0>1748<0>1782<0>3461<0>89<0>... |
Soon enough, it would become clear that Octavian was grooming his nephew, Markalis, to succeed him, just as his uncle, Julius Caesar, had groomed him to rule the empire. | <0>1665<0>3927<0>546<0>2207<0>1168<0>2054<0>2178<0>3762<0>3018<0>3179<0>610<0>1118<0>2176<0>3175<0>504<0>3348<0>196<0>1680<0>628<0>3305<0>1512<0>3701<0>1973<0>3780<0>2660<0>108<0>1671<0>2088<0>3602<0>2531<0>2921<0>1370<0>2550<0>1671<0>633<0>2088<0>1526<0>3697<0>3243<0>327<0>3574<0>3918<0>321<0>1098<0>2863<0>321<0>1762<... |
Tiberius, despite heavy lobbying from his mother, Livia, would remain a backup plan. | <0>2636<0>3031<0>3808<0>3295<0>3235<0>1396<0>805<0>1989<0>530<0>2278<0>135<0>1118<0>1736<0>2179<0>499<0>1419<0>2020<0>1394<0>2020<0>321<0>2176<0>1394<0>3024<0>3239<0>3918<0>2176<0>1671<0>321<0>4088<0>3918<0>2092<0>1396<0>2960<0>1394<0>3898<0>1376<0>3237<0>2193<0>2987<0>1203<0>614<0>235<0>3898<0>3057<0>1987<0>1394<0>724... |
In fact, he would remain the backup plan for most of his life as Augustus cast about the family, trying to find someone, anyone who could replace him. | <0>869<0>243<0>3253<0>3834<0>3031<0>3973<0>2278<0>2213<0>133<0>243<0>107<0>1370<0>324<0>192<0>3125<0>3626<0>2566<0>2181<0>1973<0>1639<0>1219<0>3898<0>3486<0>3516<0>2178<0>324<0>2176<0>63<0>3364<0>234<0>2903<0>68<0>2181<0>2823<0>1805<0>1989<0>2521<0>461<0>3179<0>562<0>277<0>2627<0>253<0>3235<0>1228<0>73<0>538<0>2958<0>1... |
In the end, he was able to find none, and Tiberius, who was never supposed to become emperor, became emperor. | <0>1056<0>3642<0>3194<0>696<0>4072<0>135<0>3117<0>1376<0>3237<0>2729<0>277<0>1118<0>3849<0>3898<0>68<0>1219<0>3982<0>1192<0>3606<0>1168<0>2054<0>3918<0>234<0>3237<0>3237<0>3726<0>3726<0>3466<0>243<0>2975<0>243<0>1394<0>2181<0>2181<0>805<0>1989<0>2899<0>3426<0>2899<0>1618<0>348<0>3904<0>3302<0>253<0>73<0>2020<0>63<0>189... |
In 28 BC, Agrippa joined Octavian in the Consulship, and the two worked together to shore up Octavian's power, while simultaneously restoring order to the Empire. | <0>2388<0>1858<0>259<0>2070<0>546<0>1547<0>1259<0>2506<0>681<0>3886<0>1655<0>290<0>1376<0>290<0>2700<0>1618<0>2422<0>2070<0>3150<0>1485<0>1363<0>507<0>1394<0>321<0>1331<0>2775<0>1354<0>1080<0>756<0>633<0>3918<0>234<0>1973<0>1488<0>1488<0>1935<0>2898<0>500<0>3898<0>1376<0>290<0>3018<0>1974<0>725<0>2020<0>1168<0>3626<0>5... |
One of the first things they did was formally annul all the laws that had been enacted during the second triumvirate. As I mentioned at the end of last week, | <0>3014<0>2070<0>3840<0>3626<0>2176<0>1007<0>807<0>3832<0>623<0>2152<0>3626<0>4072<0>648<0>2876<0>309<0>1236<0>290<0>3762<0>3237<0>3726<0>2339<0>3841<0>2404<0>3982<0>4008<0>1981<0>3135<0>3287<0>2975<0>1982<0>1982<0>3982<0>3962<0>68<0>443<0>443<0>287<0>1969<0>253<0>1512<0>1296<0>4010<0>321<0>2016<0>3629<0>135<0>1394<0>2... |
It was time for Octavian to leave his ruthlessly ambitious past behind him. | <0>3726<0>253<0>3253<0>3551<0>3443<0>3150<0>3642<0>1883<0>2541<0>998<0>3219<0>1987<0>3175<0>3574<0>1277<0>1428<0>1459<0>3419<0>3117<0>1396<0>1394<0>1394<0>1394<0>4072<0>1679<0>2176<0>2550<0>1118<0>2178<0>63<0>1744<0>1655<0>3918<0>1376<0>1512<0>2454<0>805<0>1074<0>928<0>1678<0>2054<0>3873<0>2548<0>771<0>443<0>941<0>1671... |
So it may seem odd that he cancelled laws and decrees he himself had enacted just a few years previously. But he wanted to send the message that he was not that man anymore. That the rule of law had returned to Rome for good. | <0>579<0>3447<0>2517<0>1858<0>901<0>746<0>546<0>229<0>443<0>3982<0>321<0>2176<0>1236<0>1671<0>1919<0>3176<0>108<0>2338<0>4010<0>1834<0>2339<0>321<0>321<0>2176<0>2592<0>2088<0>551<0>1136<0>235<0>3158<0>317<0>1989<0>2278<0>2426<0>948<0>243<0>243<0>2568<0>2993<0>2947<0>321<0>2020<0>3598<0>756<0>1168<0>3069<0>324<0>2088<0>... |
Canceling a few laws, though, was just a matter of bookkeeping. The real question facing Artavian and Agrippa was what to do with the sixty legions that remained mobilized. | <0>538<0>2935<0>2070<0>562<0>3253<0>243<0>2038<0>3353<0>1512<0>321<0>321<0>1370<0>2020<0>3918<0>614<0>2754<0>2176<0>3291<0>3849<0>781<0>3798<0>724<0>2416<0>321<0>614<0>196<0>614<0>2176<0>1278<0>3175<0>648<0>324<0>1329<0>3466<0>3237<0>1989<0>3237<0>3237<0>3237<0>3018<0>105<0>2680<0>3786<0>3135<0>2070<0>253<0>1370<0>1765... |
Obviously, there is no need to keep so many men under arms. | <0>443<0>3061<0>1394<0>317<0>254<0>1126<0>3003<0>3237<0>1573<0>1989<0>3235<0>3079<0>2538<0>3135<0>756<0>1394<0>1378<0>2207<0>509<0>2435<0>3574<0>3629<0>63<0>3918<0>724<0>3123<0>3057<0>4072<0>3253<0>2054<0>2178<0>443<0>651<0>1488<0>1192<0>552<0>3665<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>... |
Not only could the treasury not support them but what were they all going to do? Knowing full well that a restless army is a dangerous army. | <0>3808<0>1503<0>507<0>2020<0>3837<0>648<0>2139<0>764<0>321<0>1827<0>235<0>3574<0>2054<0>4044<0>234<0>1376<0>1488<0>507<0>2592<0>3224<0>614<0>1376<0>3237<0>1989<0>1219<0>321<0>2550<0>545<0>1442<0>4073<0>618<0>2898<0>614<0>1223<0>197<0>3123<0>3876<0>309<0>3918<0>2675<0>3726<0>3466<0>3466<0>3726<0>3237<0>3237<0>3237<0>32... |
Octavian and Agrippa worked through a plan to demobilize half the men and keep the rest posted on the frontiers where they would guard the empire from foreign invasion. | <0>321<0>1618<0>1710<0>3194<0>546<0>632<0>632<0>807<0>2898<0>1370<0>321<0>443<0>207<0>3237<0>1639<0>443<0>2975<0>253<0>4028<0>3253<0>2020<0>2339<0>327<0>2020<0>3904<0>933<0>963<0>3726<0>1485<0>1277<0>2176<0>2339<0>2339<0>1289<0>2863<0>2087<0>1272<0>2595<0>2648<0>5<0>1277<0>1982<0>2994<0>66<0>2566<0>1989<0>3237<0>3237<0... |
As I mentioned last week, one of Octavian's overriding goals after Actium was to capture Egypt and hold it as a personal territory. | <0>1503<0>3834<0>2196<0>1685<0>2152<0>445<0>941<0>253<0>253<0>1960<0>2176<0>756<0>2815<0>2178<0>2566<0>2566<0>2566<0>2138<0>3235<0>2151<0>1846<0>321<0>5<0>2660<0>192<0>1394<0>1671<0>524<0>1219<0>2550<0>4010<0>2020<0>2181<0>235<0>1277<0>1219<0>3898<0>132<0>1935<0>2181<0>2054<0>490<0>998<0>1192<0>30<0>1442<0>2400<0>633<0... |
Having achieved this goal, he was now able to more or less tell 150,000 soldiers to go home without worrying about bonus rides. | <0>4037<0>3061<0>277<0>756<0>3364<0>2525<0>2581<0>1206<0>633<0>277<0>3665<0>1370<0>68<0>2395<0>1108<0>2052<0>3422<0>2725<0>1108<0>1858<0>277<0>1306<0>2151<0>3150<0>639<0>4072<0>2339<0>2339<0>443<0>349<0>2034<0>1671<0>2752<0>3982<0>2752<0>321<0>1362<0>4044<0>3985<0>2181<0>507<0>1192<0>1192<0>2531<0>1671<0>724<0>5<0>426<... |
Here's your retirement check. Paid for from the richest captured in Alexandria.

No IOUs this time around. He had money to pay them all. | <0>3123<0>3834<0>321<0>253<0>2067<0>235<0>1394<0>756<0>1114<0>234<0>326<0>3151<0>2054<0>1488<0>1192<0>2730<0>290<0>3237<0>3726<0>3726<0>3726<0>3175<0>231<0>1502<0>3918<0>724<0>633<0>1376<0>290<0>234<0>2178<0>1839<0>724<0>3918<0>2054<0>1488<0>1488<0>602<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>39... |
During this year Octavian and Agrippa also appointed themselves to be censors. | <0>2538<0>1452<0>1157<0>623<0>3297<0>317<0>3461<0>3574<0>774<0>327<0>1108<0>290<0>1172<0>1883<0>219<0>3037<0>3793<0>546<0>2070<0>2152<0>546<0>1442<0>321<0>2339<0>1311<0>1203<0>1484<0>1484<0>2876<0>2020<0>2339<0>724<0>724<0>1394<0>3626<0>234<0>2087<0>2592<0>1289<0>1219<0>504<0>648<0>2167<0>1855<0>4072<0>1671<0>3993<0>20... |
The powerful office that was in charge not only of the mundane task of determining the population. | <0>2566<0>492<0>1569<0>3701<0>562<0>2339<0>3962<0>3982<0>321<0>2178<0>63<0>4044<0>2020<0>2176<0>3551<0>1277<0>430<0>321<0>321<0>1824<0>2639<0>1511<0>2680<0>234<0>3318<0>2020<0>3287<0>2207<0>2020<0>2568<0>235<0>1982<0>1394<0>192<0>2393<0>2092<0>3331<0>30<0>1192<0>300<0>283<0>294<0>3808<0>2627<0>689<0>321<0>2054<0>1320<0... |
But also the much more controversial task of determining who was in and who was out of the Senate. Right away they fiddled with the senatorial ranks. | <0>2026<0>2151<0>2541<0>3160<0>3287<0>3297<0>1370<0>4028<0>3029<0>2339<0>2006<0>1192<0>348<0>3302<0>2176<0>507<0>2020<0>2704<0>3111<0>614<0>2665<0>4067<0>1192<0>2178<0>3109<0>3726<0>2239<0>2239<0>2054<0>4073<0>3876<0>2756<0>2181<0>941<0>1671<0>2048<0>348<0>2176<0>805<0>3468<0>1394<0>1396<0>1982<0>1748<0>3237<0>1376<0>2... |
Reducing the total number from a thousand to eight hundred and subbing in prominent supporters from across the empire rather than relying strictly on old Roman families to fill the ranks. The pushback from the existing Senate though, Swift, and Octavian prudently backed off his plan. | <0>3786<0>1118<0>3291<0>1419<0>3574<0>3224<0>90<0>321<0>2949<0>1512<0>2416<0>2054<0>1370<0>1192<0>2054<0>135<0>254<0>2648<0>321<0>2592<0>1982<0>1765<0>1164<0>1394<0>58<0>2054<0>3798<0>235<0>2568<0>1989<0>3237<0>2695<0>1001<0>724<0>135<0>1855<0>253<0>2020<0>1394<0>1394<0>1277<0>1748<0>3151<0>1192<0>1168<0>1394<0>3609<0>... |
Granting waivers to anyone who wanted to remain in the Senate to settle the matter. But like I say, Octavian was a patient man. | <0>2551<0>3235<0>3999<0>1987<0>633<0>3786<0>3834<0>1780<0>1370<0>73<0>3729<0>2975<0>4072<0>2020<0>3918<0>172<0>3918<0>3898<0>2181<0>1512<0>1512<0>2339<0>324<0>1601<0>1987<0>633<0>1982<0>135<0>3660<0>724<0>3486<0>1989<0>4019<0>349<0>300<0>2741<0>89<0>2339<0>614<0>1502<0>3486<0>2178<0>611<0>948<0>3237<0>3726<0>2566<0>137... |
By no means was he done trying to mold the Senate into something more to his liking. | <0>443<0>3834<0>249<0>2020<0>3918<0>1394<0>1394<0>2020<0>317<0>3176<0>3003<0>270<0>1370<0>4073<0>3701<0>3486<0>724<0>3798<0>2092<0>68<0>866<0>2592<0>3318<0>73<0>3486<0>3224<0>3071<0>1001<0>2842<0>1277<0>3328<0>73<0>2054<0>1512<0>3123<0>324<0>1488<0>321<0>2927<0>3598<0>2876<0>2138<0>2181<0>3364<0>3389<0>1502<0>1108<0>32... |
But there was no reason to risk it all in a showdown with the old guard right away. There were still appearances to keep up. | <0>3018<0>1007<0>2070<0>1846<0>2152<0>3663<0>2541<0>3135<0>2668<0>3253<0>492<0>2339<0>3031<0>2762<0>3609<0>321<0>3962<0>321<0>3918<0>1987<0>2668<0>108<0>2176<0>3486<0>3486<0>3918<0>724<0>3613<0>3786<0>2339<0>614<0>2091<0>3962<0>321<0>2020<0>321<0>58<0>2339<0>2339<0>3898<0>2991<0>1108<0>1989<0>1989<0>3237<0>3237<0>2754<... |
Over the course of 28 BC, Octavian and Agrippa also added two great temples to the Roman skyline. | <0>3150<0>2070<0>2543<0>2123<0>2541<0>1547<0>3840<0>169<0>1981<0>3194<0>3194<0>3776<0>1394<0>785<0>4044<0>57<0>1394<0>1376<0>3237<0>3726<0>3726<0>1981<0>1846<0>2060<0>3793<0>2581<0>3713<0>546<0>954<0>1219<0>2181<0>1203<0>1738<0>290<0>3726<0>2700<0>3543<0>3982<0>3485<0>2152<0>877<0>2265<0>628<0>2550<0>2116<0>687<0>300<0... |
Beginning the process of turning the city of brick into a city of marble. | <0>77<0>1022<0>901<0>546<0>3297<0>2669<0>2178<0>321<0>321<0>2016<0>4072<0>2016<0>805<0>2286<0>2020<0>2054<0>1277<0>135<0>253<0>1339<0>3111<0>196<0>1219<0>321<0>2181<0>3003<0>3003<0>3237<0>3003<0>970<0>4072<0>135<0>3224<0>2369<0>3532<0>1982<0>3574<0>1639<0>2054<0>2548<0>321<0>3786<0>457<0>614<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>3981... |
First was the temple to Apollo that Octavian had vowed to build if he emerged victorious from the war with Sextus Pompey. | <0>1857<0>1157<0>2070<0>3472<0>2070<0>2769<0>835<0>2741<0>628<0>2592<0>2339<0>234<0>2339<0>998<0>1738<0>3701<0>2898<0>4088<0>2511<0>1538<0>2278<0>3179<0>2312<0>279<0>1132<0>231<0>3776<0>3194<0>3175<0>135<0>648<0>277<0>321<0>2054<0>3123<0>3003<0>3629<0>2176<0>3786<0>2020<0>2538<0>1394<0>324<0>614<0>2176<0>3181<0>1855<0>... |
Built on the Palatine Hill, adjacent to his slowly expanding residence, the temple would take on great public significance when Octavian ordered that the Sibylline books be moved there from the Temple of Jupiter, where they had been kept from the time of the kings. | <0>3180<0>1007<0>1370<0>2181<0>2034<0>2592<0>628<0>321<0>1370<0>562<0>628<0>1377<0>1987<0>277<0>2339<0>614<0>1488<0>3237<0>2239<0>348<0>3291<0>192<0>73<0>3253<0>135<0>243<0>426<0>317<0>3458<0>507<0>4010<0>2020<0>2400<0>2100<0>312<0>3386<0>4023<0>724<0>2393<0>443<0>2181<0>235<0>135<0>724<0>3253<0>1578<0>3003<0>2239<0>72... |
Agrippa, meanwhile, took the lead on building a great temple to all the gods to be called simply the Pantheon. | <0>321<0>1370<0>3235<0>2921<0>1370<0>2568<0>1394<0>1512<0>321<0>2054<0>1649<0>3018<0>2725<0>2278<0>1098<0>807<0>2921<0>3135<0>3125<0>2581<0>507<0>2054<0>234<0>2034<0>2339<0>135<0>2714<0>1219<0>321<0>192<0>1278<0>2137<0>1442<0>2339<0>3598<0>2535<0>443<0>1765<0>1484<0>3982<0>426<0>1639<0>321<0>321<0>2369<0>290<0>3762<0>3... |
Today, the Pantheon remains one of the great tourist destinations in Rome. And if you ever get a chance to see it, don't miss out. | <0>1785<0>3295<0>3278<0>3758<0>3176<0>1982<0>290<0>1168<0>1118<0>866<0>553<0>2070<0>3555<0>546<0>1007<0>4010<0>628<0>324<0>941<0>1394<0>135<0>2020<0>3918<0>1671<0>1219<0>2181<0>2329<0>3284<0>3732<0>2949<0>2339<0>243<0>2143<0>1118<0>1419<0>2406<0>1982<0>1987<0>1560<0>2538<0>1935<0>3918<0>2020<0>1901<0>2181<0>3918<0>1108... |
Keep in mind though, that the Pantheon standing today is actually a rebuild, commissioned by Trajan in 126 BC. | <0>3109<0>3585<0>2152<0>2568<0>1370<0>277<0>2088<0>724<0>614<0>1376<0>1989<0>2676<0>1287<0>2020<0>805<0>3626<0>3287<0>623<0>2023<0>1306<0>3840<0>2769<0>2808<0>309<0>1394<0>1394<0>3826<0>1376<0>309<0>2975<0>3435<0>290<0>290<0>2239<0>941<0>3834<0>2648<0>3076<0>3904<0>1907<0>3786<0>1284<0>3574<0>3353<0>2960<0>1370<0>2339<... |
The original construction having been destroyed by a devastating fire in ADAD. But, cognizant of the historical significance of the temple, | <0>924<0>962<0>192<0>321<0>277<0>4073<0>2054<0>4088<0>1982<0>1824<0>3294<0>3403<0>921<0>2393<0>2004<0>2278<0>2639<0>592<0>562<0>243<0>2092<0>633<0>1394<0>544<0>2857<0>253<0>2181<0>1671<0>321<0>426<0>1376<0>544<0>562<0>3224<0>2741<0>172<0>1688<0>3798<0>2338<0>321<0>321<0>1738<0>1108<0>2278<0>133<0>1485<0>1376<0>1394<0>1... |
Trajan ordered his pantheon, built to the original blueprints. | <0>1335<0>202<0>2070<0>546<0>1685<0>3135<0>3982<0>1370<0>2531<0>786<0>1987<0>4072<0>3873<0>1324<0>1987<0>724<0>1754<0>2054<0>614<0>2239<0>771<0>1748<0>2980<0>1370<0>1219<0>805<0>1394<0>3685<0>3898<0>941<0>4073<0>2054<0>4095<0>3786<0>1512<0>196<0>2178<0>3486<0>234<0>2105<0>3237<0>2007<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
As 27 BC arrived, Octavian felt secure enough in his position that he decided to work out the details of his New World Order with the Senate. | <0>1709<0>3235<0>1683<0>4009<0>193<0>2070<0>1858<0>234<0>2506<0>73<0>2009<0>2588<0>2339<0>3786<0>58<0>1738<0>3328<0>290<0>1989<0>2170<0>798<0>443<0>898<0>2030<0>3793<0>546<0>2152<0>3438<0>484<0>2898<0>3927<0>2116<0>2454<0>492<0>3253<0>1192<0>2034<0>3486<0>303<0>3873<0>234<0>3626<0>1512<0>317<0>793<0>1277<0>1108<0>1001<... |
The trick, of course, was to maintain the pretense of Republican governance while at the same time keeping power in his own hands. | <0>147<0>2169<0>1157<0>3663<0>1846<0>998<0>3786<0>2339<0>321<0>2369<0>2700<0>704<0>1511<0>443<0>1118<0>1891<0>1982<0>3287<0>3297<0>3585<0>3194<0>1671<0>2700<0>1639<0>1370<0>1394<0>90<0>1635<0>1982<0>1935<0>2176<0>2339<0>2178<0>1370<0>2178<0>1208<0>2187<0>2646<0>321<0>2339<0>2020<0>3486<0>3808<0>5<0>3237<0>3027<0>443<0>... |
In performing this trick, he was actually aided by a willing Senate. | <0>1848<0>3067<0>2034<0>2338<0>3382<0>2541<0>3642<0>3177<0>235<0>3551<0>801<0>89<0>2864<0>405<0>3466<0>3466<0>172<0>3253<0>2151<0>3401<0>669<0>3873<0>970<0>933<0>1394<0>3125<0>135<0>3466<0>2239<0>443<0>321<0>229<0>2092<0>2176<0>3918<0>552<0>2454<0>862<0>3486<0>3918<0>2675<0>1056<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>398... |
You may think that the body who stood to lose the most by Octavian's power grab would also protest the most. But while some members dislike Octavian's rule, | <0>632<0>2070<0>3821<0>3966<0>546<0>234<0>234<0>2178<0>321<0>321<0>1512<0>3697<0>135<0>3551<0>2097<0>4072<0>135<0>1396<0>3626<0>1394<0>2903<0>3918<0>3798<0>3224<0>2176<0>2176<0>504<0>2339<0>321<0>2054<0>866<0>3685<0>2960<0>2714<0>3873<0>390<0>1974<0>3982<0>2339<0>2339<0>2181<0>614<0>3973<0>3466<0>1428<0>4084<0>1219<0>3... |
Octavian announced to the assembled body that he was stepping down from his position and wished no more to bear the burdens of government. | <0>2239<0>2648<0>3786<0>2660<0>3020<0>3776<0>1394<0>1394<0>2181<0>2416<0>2857<0>724<0>633<0>1655<0>3802<0>2054<0>2092<0>2092<0>1488<0>321<0>235<0>1485<0>290<0>2952<0>704<0>2665<0>2506<0>243<0>1118<0>2876<0>3943<0>1512<0>1277<0>90<0>2648<0>1192<0>1219<0>2178<0>1688<0>866<0>1919<0>234<0>3022<0>2660<0>1624<0>2239<0>3466<0... |
The senators present tripped over themselves, begging Octavian to reconsider. | <0>2589<0>669<0>3318<0>2070<0>2070<0>2531<0>235<0>3665<0>3973<0>321<0>277<0>1413<0>3973<0>3762<0>725<0>2026<0>389<0>3235<0>2700<0>3834<0>507<0>507<0>3918<0>3918<0>1576<0>614<0>614<0>1108<0>2239<0>3726<0>290<0>2592<0>1419<0>1378<0>1671<0>2054<0>165<0>1722<0>2400<0>3464<0>324<0>944<0>2339<0>756<0>3697<0>1768<0>2741<0>384... |
Reluctantly, Octavian agreed that if the Senate, as the representatives of Republican authority, deemed him worthy of remaining Rome's leading man, how could he possibly say no? | <0>321<0>628<0>4010<0>2176<0>3993<0>3123<0>724<0>3874<0>1108<0>3237<0>424<0>3151<0>2860<0>1217<0>1987<0>192<0>1394<0>1394<0>1671<0>2020<0>3618<0>633<0>543<0>3071<0>3237<0>290<0>2020<0>4072<0>3873<0>1306<0>1977<0>253<0>4072<0>4072<0>2566<0>3237<0>3237<0>3237<0>3237<0>2239<0>2700<0>3235<0>2176<0>2339<0>3031<0>1370<0>4072... |
The deal worked out with the Senate, all arranged in advance of course. | <0>2796<0>1715<0>368<0>2070<0>4008<0>288<0>3313<0>1204<0>3701<0>2176<0>2592<0>3235<0>3318<0>1111<0>3918<0>2511<0>1376<0>2566<0>1376<0>3189<0>2879<0>3061<0>3982<0>321<0>2181<0>3486<0>3076<0>2100<0>2088<0>2960<0>2416<0>941<0>1935<0>614<0>998<0>2339<0>321<0>73<0>1278<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068... |
Granted Octavian 10 years pro consular authority over the provinces of Spain, Gaul, Cilicia, Syria, and Egypt. These particular provinces were important because they all stood on the borders of the empire. | <0>998<0>1525<0>901<0>2070<0>595<0>1759<0>1960<0>231<0>1671<0>633<0>234<0>3179<0>3179<0>2116<0>2070<0>3758<0>3297<0>938<0>628<0>2105<0>1649<0>321<0>2176<0>1370<0>321<0>1192<0>934<0>774<0>2181<0>548<0>3203<0>321<0>321<0>2088<0>2398<0>1989<0>3237<0>2548<0>443<0>321<0>2181<0>2176<0>1649<0>321<0>321<0>1982<0>3551<0>135<0>2... |

The last little bit to come out of the constitutional settlement of 27 BC was the small matter of what to call Octavian in this new order. | <0>3985<0>3135<0>2151<0>898<0>746<0>3135<0>3135<0>2020<0>4072<0>2665<0>1968<0>1098<0>562<0>2531<0>1192<0>2054<0>2176<0>551<0>321<0>321<0>2176<0>2116<0>135<0>249<0>1273<0>1486<0>2339<0>3429<0>3904<0>1819<0>1168<0>724<0>234<0>283<0>1488<0>3105<0>3457<0>2741<0>2054<0>1502<0>1376<0>3670<0>1713<0>785<0>1655<0>3175<0>1376<0>... |
The Senate decided that he ought to at least be given a title of some distinction. Something that acknowledged the indispensable nature of the man. The Senate finally settled on a new name. The name by which most people know Octavian today. | <0>3973<0>2070<0>3850<0>2070<0>2070<0>546<0>1710<0>3551<0>2181<0>2181<0>3626<0>365<0>2278<0>3762<0>2796<0>3291<0>1820<0>3675<0>2020<0>774<0>3873<0>1378<0>3873<0>2029<0>3353<0>235<0>3918<0>234<0>813<0>466<0>1820<0>1512<0>3786<0>3918<0>3461<0>1675<0>1982<0>1968<0>3235<0>1278<0>243<0>3292<0>2660<0>1277<0>290<0>3237<0>3237... |

One of his overarching goals through this early period of his reign was to undercut the Senate's real authority while simultaneously building it back up into an organization with some prestige. | <0>3135<0>2151<0>1309<0>2796<0>628<0>507<0>2181<0>253<0>2016<0>1229<0>1277<0>2020<0>321<0>68<0>3904<0>3697<0>196<0>73<0>5<0>2020<0>3786<0>1394<0>2957<0>951<0>235<0>1754<0>2176<0>3626<0>2020<0>2181<0>941<0>1277<0>1989<0>3237<0>3726<0>2680<0>1124<0>443<0>1118<0>3160<0>3563<0>3150<0>546<0>3974<0>2556<0>492<0>349<0>73<0>39... |
If he remained in Rome, he would be a constant reminder that you know what? The Senate is just a powerless social club. | <0>1434<0>2070<0>546<0>2541<0>807<0>3821<0>546<0>546<0>2339<0>253<0>1192<0>1671<0>1277<0>3237<0>3466<0>3237<0>2944<0>546<0>3297<0>3297<0>3194<0>551<0>321<0>1819<0>348<0>2116<0>2566<0>2054<0>2054<0>2054<0>3253<0>3253<0>1442<0>2018<0>2700<0>3808<0>3125<0>941<0>1526<0>3563<0>2339<0>3150<0>2274<0>3726<0>3726<0>3726<0>2020<... |
By absenting himself from the Capitol, he allowed the Senate a degree of autonomy that went a long way towards rebuilding their bruised egos. But make no mistake about it. | <0>1883<0>3782<0>3230<0>3061<0>73<0>3904<0>2538<0>1532<0>1277<0>63<0>3510<0>321<0>2338<0>3918<0>1277<0>3873<0>628<0>1738<0>614<0>3898<0>1748<0>3466<0>3726<0>2032<0>1114<0>1935<0>2151<0>2775<0>2522<0>1355<0>4072<0>4072<0>4073<0>452<0>234<0>1973<0>1671<0>1671<0>2898<0>2006<0>3151<0>3982<0>507<0>1168<0>633<0>75<0>725<0>26... |
It was about building back up their egos, not their real power. | <0>2754<0>2665<0>2020<0>4072<0>2176<0>1736<0>3786<0>234<0>2020<0>2339<0>1394<0>1277<0>3061<0>2898<0>2648<0>5<0>3840<0>3364<0>3353<0>3353<0>1671<0>1762<0>2006<0>3003<0>3237<0>3762<0>1376<0>1982<0>2054<0>321<0>3786<0>614<0>774<0>2949<0>2178<0>1974<0>1311<0>1289<0>3403<0>2575<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>20... |
Augustus first went to Gaul, where years of Roman neglect had reduced the province to somewhere between organized revolt and outright anarchy. | <0>1981<0>807<0>291<0>1211<0>2070<0>326<0>1370<0>3841<0>3253<0>1671<0>1118<0>2700<0>1503<0>3962<0>2548<0>1488<0>2178<0>2092<0>2980<0>3786<0>3235<0>1655<0>192<0>235<0>1118<0>507<0>2020<0>2054<0>234<0>1394<0>5<0>2339<0>2181<0>1579<0>2663<0>390<0>1287<0>2278<0>2975<0>2034<0>2176<0>90<0>277<0>1118<0>2020<0>2566<0>321<0>321... |
It did not take long though for the steadying hand of mighty Caesar to put all the tribes conquered by his uncle back on their best behavior. | <0>3183<0>3291<0>78<0>1007<0>1846<0>1097<0>192<0>5<0>68<0>651<0>1168<0>1982<0>724<0>2092<0>3386<0>1442<0>3904<0>4044<0>317<0>3125<0>1394<0>3574<0>1635<0>1394<0>3328<0>1394<0>1219<0>2054<0>1396<0>3353<0>3937<0>1208<0>1485<0>1394<0>196<0>3237<0>3726<0>3726<0>2018<0>234<0>1370<0>3982<0>3982<0>2752<0>135<0>1607<0>321<0>391... |
So from Gaul, he traveled to Spain where the situation was just as chaotic. But this time, the natives were not simply awed by the power of Caesar. | <0>3428<0>300<0>253<0>1192<0>2176<0>321<0>3962<0>3962<0>2178<0>290<0>1489<0>668<0>1642<0>1820<0>3982<0>2020<0>73<0>4044<0>2325<0>3287<0>3111<0>3464<0>234<0>3237<0>3762<0>2899<0>443<0>321<0>3253<0>3551<0>1685<0>193<0>3135<0>1685<0>78<0>724<0>805<0>1824<0>1118<0>2406<0>3904<0>3534<0>548<0>1987<0>321<0>321<0>1144<0>3003<0... |
The local Spanish had never really taken to foreign rule and were, in many places, subjects in name only. | <0>2239<0>1370<0>253<0>3150<0>1883<0>3135<0>3910<0>309<0>309<0>135<0>862<0>426<0>1394<0>3898<0>2176<0>3988<0>1394<0>504<0>1635<0>1394<0>2116<0>2088<0>234<0>2338<0>2665<0>1488<0>1762<0>2566<0>2339<0>2752<0>68<0>2092<0>1989<0>3466<0>3237<0>1885<0>135<0>2020<0>2752<0>2020<0>321<0>1203<0>3873<0>633<0>4072<0>1394<0>2566<0>2... |
But as was so often the case, for most of the time he was not leading troops in battle, but rather recovering from a severe illness that overtook him not long after crossing the Pyrenees. | <0>3946<0>1748<0>2070<0>3444<0>2152<0>3287<0>3927<0>2876<0>1370<0>3962<0>321<0>2178<0>1982<0>3808<0>3029<0>231<0>3125<0>1394<0>1582<0>3310<0>3237<0>3726<0>3237<0>3029<0>1370<0>628<0>2020<0>2857<0>3626<0>3873<0>389<0>1192<0>2054<0>633<0>941<0>243<0>73<0>3253<0>2898<0>2675<0>1394<0>3670<0>196<0>2487<0>2176<0>3609<0>135<0... |
The early going of the pacification campaign had proved to be full of false starts and frustrating engagements with guerrilla fighters. And as usual, the stress of the hard campaign weakened Augustus's immune system and he was forced to retire from the field. | <0>3438<0>1547<0>1157<0>2070<0>1306<0>3353<0>1370<0>3253<0>1168<0>2176<0>2474<0>2137<0>3318<0>4044<0>517<0>2116<0>793<0>1378<0>1965<0>1277<0>1885<0>1987<0>2568<0>1966<0>3464<0>1277<0>3466<0>869<0>4019<0>300<0>234<0>2034<0>253<0>2176<0>3665<0>2538<0>1532<0>1578<0>2339<0>68<0>2369<0>103<0>1484<0>1765<0>3448<0>3609<0>321<... |
While he recovered beside the mountain springs and the Pyramids, his lieutenants continued the fight and eventually brought it to a successful conclusion. | <0>1219<0>2860<0>2550<0>4073<0>2176<0>2176<0>562<0>321<0>4010<0>234<0>1738<0>348<0>1370<0>253<0>3626<0>3798<0>321<0>2178<0>2634<0>73<0>2592<0>253<0>3464<0>2538<0>1277<0>196<0>3729<0>1635<0>235<0>2054<0>3177<0>1198<0>3762<0>3237<0>3237<0>3726<0>508<0>3253<0>277<0>2139<0>221<0>2896<0>226<0>500<0>2538<0>3729<0>249<0>3111<... |
Spain was, at least for now, under firm Roman control. | <0>2116<0>2096<0>546<0>3194<0>3297<0>1901<0>321<0>2511<0>3609<0>1376<0>1278<0>1486<0>1671<0>1394<0>1273<0>1973<0>3918<0>1601<0>2054<0>2054<0>2054<0>998<0>2239<0>3579<0>649<0>1973<0>5<0>3982<0>1370<0>2020<0>614<0>1192<0>2178<0>1982<0>3808<0>1502<0>764<0>1370<0>3962<0>2548<0>614<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
Or perhaps more accurately, under firm Augustan control. | <0>1278<0>321<0>1370<0>1500<0>3031<0>321<0>63<0>1488<0>1488<0>651<0>2648<0>2867<0>2338<0>3579<0>2675<0>633<0>1376<0>2018<0>2018<0>2700<0>2239<0>1192<0>1442<0>2338<0>2338<0>3982<0>2312<0>2178<0>2700<0>2700<0>1675<0>2700<0>2648<0>3318<0>3310<0>1982<0>2646<0>1502<0>1256<0>321<0>68<0>614<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
The severity of the illness which Bethel Augustus in Spain, which laid him up for at least a year, | <0>1935<0>2525<0>782<0>2070<0>1232<0>1401<0>546<0>3297<0>1394<0>2272<0>2181<0>3253<0>426<0>3551<0>3224<0>326<0>234<0>2404<0>3609<0>1370<0>321<0>2176<0>947<0>2181<0>326<0>2369<0>3609<0>1277<0>3927<0>2105<0>1168<0>3425<0>3918<0>1376<0>1376<0>3237<0>3726<0>2034<0>2741<0>2176<0>309<0>1394<0>3918<0>321<0>348<0>2181<0>2675<0... |
To that end, Augustus bucked his wife's usually persuasive advice and continued to hone in on his nephew, Mark Kellis, rather than Libya's son, Tiberius, as his heir apparent. | <0>1467<0>4072<0>2796<0>253<0>309<0>1396<0>1982<0>2178<0>1074<0>2700<0>348<0>3277<0>2151<0>3832<0>3966<0>3180<0>648<0>1370<0>1819<0>1491<0>3729<0>1526<0>1289<0>2001<0>2374<0>1824<0>2226<0>1394<0>3291<0>135<0>234<0>2034<0>156<0>2176<0>633<0>3429<0>724<0>2088<0>4095<0>321<0>3182<0>73<0>5<0>1541<0>3300<0>2170<0>3351<0>317... |
In 28 BC, Augustus arranged for Markelus to marry his own daughter, Julia, leaving no doubt as to who he felt should take over when he died. | <0>3183<0>2032<0>253<0>3235<0>3125<0>192<0>2960<0>1394<0>785<0>554<0>3353<0>3153<0>1376<0>948<0>1873<0>565<0>1819<0>3695<0>2070<0>3264<0>3713<0>2070<0>2752<0>1901<0>941<0>1394<0>3470<0>1488<0>1488<0>2176<0>1701<0>235<0>2020<0>2016<0>207<0>1502<0>3069<0>3898<0>979<0>3626<0>1512<0>3918<0>1982<0>321<0>1289<0>3918<0>3422<0... |
I should point out here that to the staunchly patriarchal Romans, familial bonds followed from the men and the men alone. | <0>359<0>824<0>1773<0>648<0>1518<0>3663<0>623<0>279<0>3364<0>212<0>3574<0>2341<0>2054<0>2566<0>1989<0>3003<0>530<0>3018<0>1928<0>538<0>3729<0>309<0>73<0>1973<0>1981<0>807<0>5<0>135<0>290<0>3237<0>1966<0>1394<0>2770<0>1370<0>618<0>321<0>2548<0>68<0>2339<0>2054<0>3918<0>3918<0>3626<0>515<0>3237<0>2239<0>2683<0>2899<0>166... |
So Julia and Markelus, though they were first cousins by blood, | <0>955<0>2413<0>1118<0>3162<0>3291<0>2020<0>309<0>4072<0>1982<0>2054<0>321<0>2646<0>3302<0>321<0>3918<0>805<0>1026<0>3237<0>3726<0>2239<0>2566<0>2020<0>4072<0>2339<0>2474<0>1370<0>1552<0>1370<0>156<0>1211<0>2181<0>2176<0>2627<0>2339<0>321<0>614<0>234<0>457<0>2176<0>235<0>3693<0>1376<0>2700<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0... |
We're not thought to have entered into anything resembling an untoward incestual marriage. | <0>1974<0>1981<0>3447<0>521<0>390<0>2510<0>1819<0>1122<0>3224<0>290<0>2100<0>2034<0>235<0>1259<0>1485<0>1070<0>2100<0>3873<0>1394<0>2116<0>493<0>2092<0>229<0>2055<0>1503<0>3918<0>2339<0>1168<0>3057<0>3027<0>1488<0>2088<0>243<0>1488<0>68<0>321<0>3239<0>3179<0>3726<0>2088<0>2903<0>247<0>1910<0>2087<0>1333<0>2675<0>3918<0... |
Julia was the daughter of Augustus, Marcellus the son of Gaius Claudius Marcellus. | <0>1961<0>3062<0>2020<0>309<0>2176<0>805<0>2876<0>3626<0>321<0>321<0>2020<0>614<0>1675<0>3165<0>2863<0>54<0>504<0>3117<0>63<0>2700<0>3237<0>1989<0>3237<0>2054<0>321<0>2006<0>300<0>2176<0>1370<0>73<0>2592<0>2993<0>1370<0>2054<0>3918<0>2700<0>628<0>321<0>2506<0>2972<0>1488<0>1311<0>3918<0>2400<0>1545<0>1488<0>1805<0>30<0... |
