+x+x+xHBO's Rome. Criminally cut short after two seasons. We were on the verge of the mighty AUGUSTUS Great actor that played Octavian. He had the physical/character traits described of him in ancient writings down to a tee. History Fact: In his meeting with Cleopatra, Augustus (then known as Gaius Octavius) did not blink in their meeting, as a sign that her charms that worked on Caesar and Antony would not affect him. In the episode of Rome that portrays this meeting, Octavian never blinks or breaks eye contact with Cleopatra.
He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.
