If it had, Marc Antony would have ensured we'd never hear the end of it...

@Lonsoleil prob not. However sex in the family was not un heard of. Neros mom used to offer herself to Nero to keep him happy... :/

The First EMPEROR!

@cefanine It's Mark Antony and Cleopatra.

I imagine that for some reason I would find Octavian quite attractive if I had been there.

"I am Caesar himself."

@Lonsoleil Of course that artistic figment... history doesn't have such fact.

@Lonsoleil Historically there are not any accounts of Octavian having sex with Octavia. They took considerable liberties with some of the content in Rome for HBO's typical "shock value" they put in so many of their shows.

@cefanine no thats Marc Antony having sex with Cleopatra.



Well they were both in absolute command of their empires and immune from any justice. They both acted with impunity. At least the Romans had the ability to violently and legitimately despatch their tyrants and despots.

One would think one upping Julius Caesar would be impossible but Octavian found a way, hats off to him.
