Author Description

Excerpt from Nicolaus of Lamascus Life of Augustus To obviate the confusion between the elder and the younger Caesar, which exists through the excerpt, it has been found expedient to refer to the later Augustus as Octavius uniformly until his arrival in Italy from Apollonia, when he became acquainted with the contents of Caesar's will, and thereafter as Octavian.
