Talk:Cultural depictions of Augustus

Doesn't Shakespeare's Julius Caesar incorrectly reference Octavian as being named "Octavius?" I thought Octavius was Caesar's niece or something like that. --66.37.59.138 13:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Octavia was the sister of Caesar Augustus, and therefore great-niece of Julius Caesar. The name "Octavius" is correct, however, when referring to Caesar Augustus in the years before his posthumous adoption by Julius Caesar. "Octavian" is an affectation of historians, never used by the man himself. Q·L·1968 ☿ 17:07, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Portrait types?
Would it be within the scope of this article to add a section on Augustus' portrait types (mainly Prima Porta, Alcudia, and Forbes)? Q·L·1968 ☿ 17:07, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

BRD re temples and arches
To follow the WP:BRD procedure, Cote d'Azur was bold and removed the various depictions of temples and other architectural tributes to Augustus. I think I can see the reason for this; on the other hand, as I said in my edit summary while reverting, "Augustus was depicted as a god, worshipped in temples, and honoured in triumphal arches, so I think these are relevant." Let's discuss. Q·L·1968 ☿ 18:54, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
