13:39 Correct me if I am mistaken or wrong, but the Roman historian, Suetonius wrote that as Brutus struck Caesar with a dagger, the latter uttered these words in Greek :"Kai Su Teknon" which translated into English meant :"Even you, son".
41:15 The creation of the Praetorian Guard was a strategic mistake by Augustus, (as future events would later show). Rather than guarding the Emperor, they engaged in politics and made themselves kingmakers. No Emperor could rise to the purple without the support of these mercenaries and huge donatives were unnecessarily paid to buy them off. Subsequent Praetorian Prefects even fancied their chances and overthrew their bosses. Sejanus made an attempt against Tiberius but failed. However Macrinus pulled off a successful coup and had Caracalla assassinated. And Philip the Arab had Gordian the Third killed and became Emperor.
21:58 A little known fact about the battle of Philippi is that the Roman poet, Horace supported and fought with the Republicans. After their defeat, he defected to Octavian's side and became the chief propagandist for the Principate writing many odes, limericks and poems praising Augustus and his policies.
23:00 A marriage of convenience. Arranged marriages to cement political or social alliances were the norm amongst the Roman elite. Marriage was viewed as a social contract, not a romantic venture. Octavia did not love Mark Anthony and the same was true on his part. Everyone in Rome knew that Octavia had a crush on Agrippa, Octavian's bosom friend and Roman general. They had an affair which scandalized the whole of Rome and infuriated Mark Anthony.
Is this a human who doesn't know how to pronounce some of the names, and words? Or an AI, who doesn't know how to pronounce some of the names, and words?
