Document Summary

Caesar octavian (caesar"s adopted heir): after antony and cleopatra fled actium (31bc), octavian and his followers gained control of egypt and the rest of the mediterranean world. Antony was a roman, and the romans were naturally horrified by the killing of brother by brother". Feb 6, 2013: [slide 19] scribbled on the bottom right (detail on slide 20) is genestho ( let it happen"), it has been argued that this was written by cleopatra, but probably not the case. British and greek governments regarding the elgin marbles: the romans were naturally insensitive to these sorts of problems, the romans were more interested in commemorating history than the greeks were, both in public and in private, cf. [slide 9] a reminder of the prominent role of astrology in rome. [slide 11] probably not augustus, since the picture is of a woman. [slide 16] probably a fragment of a charioteer, to judge by the posture.
