    That sounds very interesting. So I guess the girls when they were married, they became a woman?

    I can't remember what all the alments that Claudius had in the movie. He said some of them. I think one in the book was infantile paralisis which could be modern day serebral palsy. Sorry. I can't spell. Lol!

    I'm sorry if I didn't understand the part you are talking about in I, Claudius, but my idea of it is this: The boy was exicuted in his manly gown which means he became a man. I guess they have a cerimony for that sort of thing.

    You have a good point there. I don't know too much about Antony's children.
  5. Octavia
    Okay. Here's my point. Octavian also killed Caesarion, which I feel would have been more of a threat to Antony's children, sincer he was the son of Julius Caesar. And to the point of Octavian killing Antony's son and Caesarion, and if they felt they had to distroy all the children who they felt were a threat, why didn't they kill the other three children of Antony and Cleopatra? Does this make any since?

    I apsolutely don't agree with Tiberius's orders to kill Sajanus's children. When I heard about that on the movie, I Claudius, I was deeply sadened and disgussed!

    I don't know if my reader can read the search option but sometime I will try to find out some things on Augustus by using that feature and also, thanks for the info on all you have given me. Me personally, I think he was probably the best emperor out of the claudians except for Claudius. He was the second in my oppinion.

    Hey all. I hhave a discussion for all of you. What is your oppinion about Apgugsus's reign? Was he a good or bad person and good emperor? I know he was ruthless at the battle of actium and all that, but afterward, I feel his personality changed. What do you all think?

    I always wondered if that legend was true about Pilate's christianity, but we will never know. I also heard another thing that Claudia Procula was the daughter of Julia, daughter of Augustus. They also say that Claudia might not have been her real name. Very interesting.

    Hello all. I was just wondering who the emperors Justin I and Just II are? Were they good or bad emperors? I know Justin II was the uncle of Justinian I think. Thanks for helping me with all this if you all can. Octavia
  12. Octavia
    Hello all. This is the first time I posted a topic in this part of the forum. I was wondering what the emperor Justinian was like? What do historians say about him? Was he a good emperor? Bad? Poor judgement? Thanks for helping me with this. Octavia

    I know you can read suetonius online. I think also there might be something on Tacitus. I don't know if the other histories are online though by the other different authors. Hope that helps.
  14. Octavia
    There are many legends pertaining to what happened to Pontius Pilate. Some say that he was put to death, and others say he was banished to an island. I don't remember where it was though.There was one legend though that sounded like a myth.It was something about how he roams a lake or something like that sometimes. Has anyone heard of that one?
  15. Octavia
    Well, I'll tell you who was good or bad that I know of in the list of emperors. Was domitian in your list? I forget. He was bad. Trajan? I don't know. I heard Marcus Aurelius was good, and so was Augustus and Claudius. I don't know anything about comidus. Hope that helps. Octavia

    Hello all. Does anyone know anything about Vetellius, the adviser of claudius? Thanks. Octavia
  17. Octavia
    I agree that Augustus ran the empire well and that he wanted it to be ran well after his death. I think it was ran well with Tiberius until Sajanus started putting to death people that were innoscent and plotting other things.
  18. Octavia
    That's what I've been trying to get to all along? What do the other sources say reguarding Livilla's death and about Sujanis's children? As for Augustus, you all are right in saying that he had different errors to the throne, but it came down to tiberius, which I feel sorry about because I feel rome would have been a better empire with someone else, but whoes to say.
  19. Octavia
    Interestingg. Any info on Elemia Lepeda?
  20. Octavia
    Thanks for the interesting info. It really helps a lot.
  21. Octavia
    So what do the other sources say about Livilla's death. I know that tacitus gossiped a lot and made things more dramatic than they really were. And what also happened to Sajanis's children? Did tiberius kill them too?
  22. Octavia
    Thanks for the interesting info. It's sad that Antonia behaved in that way though.
  23. Octavia
    Hi everyone. I read that besides Agrippina the elder, Julia had another daughter called Julia? Who was she and does anyone know anything about her?
  24. Octavia
    Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been on the board in awhile. I've been pretty buisy with stuff. II was watching I, claudius and thinking about how Livilla died. Is it true that Antonia locked herin her room and she starved to death and what made her mother act in such a cruel way? I always read that Antonia was a respectible kind roman woman. How could she do that, especially to her own children?
  25. Octavia
    That's an interesting letter that he had written. Very sad that Piso had died and that he was innoscent. The question is, who killed Germanicus then?
