start of Octavius’ story

tried to revive the king title, his assassination plan is coming, during the election, when he called for a meeting at an unusual place

he treat his army very well, they’re very brave, legions are super strong cuz of that and how they are loyal to each other. he always referred to them as comrades, so once, to face the mutineers, the ninth? legion? he referred them as civilians and they immediately bow down or smth and beg caesar and said, we are your army and begged to fight for him in africa, but is said that caesar never gave in to that ask.

losing people around him. pompey being an ass. co consul brought him down. governor of gaul still. alea iasta est. civil war. gave alexandria to cleo and her brother. killed everyone close to pompey. celebrated 5 triumphs. veni, vidi, vici. honouring his promise to his army by rewarding them. helping out his citizens. grandiose public shows. introduction of our current calendar (nov, dec) 365 and leap year

marriage to strengthen the politics, opps threatening him nearing the end of his consulship, his army building at gaul and military expansion and its success, gaining more support from the people. mention of germany, and invasion of britain,hitherto an unknown country

julius finally started his sole consulship, but just because the co consul decided to be a cry baby and stay at home

finally a consul.
