  1.  @spiko1755  literally nobody roots for Octavian, he's BOOORING. Antony knew how to PAAARTAY, and so did Ceasar and Cleo!

  2.  @themore-you-know  imagine trying so hard, renaming months, styling name after Ceasar, and still be mostly known as the bad side character guy from Cleopatra's story. Most famous Roman emperors are Nero, Caligula and Constantine. Octavian is not even making top 3.

  3. Joke's on you, I seen the movie with Liz Taylor and Richard Burton BEFORE the cartoon and film version of Asterix... she does have a pretty nose though.

  4. Well, try pulling Cleopatra in Fate Grand Order with THEIR rates, and suddenly, Ubisoft aren't even AS greedy... >_>

  5.  @justinpolanco5046  " she used her body for political power " why not the other way around?.. Why do you think women are seducing men, and not men like Antony are getting into bedroom of the Pharaoh, a living goddess', to have a shot on ruling the world, eh?.. DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK MEN DIDN'T MARRY FOR POLITICAL REASONS?! Marc did that at least twice. Officially. That's how politics worked back then. Am not even talking about the other Marc Anthony who married J-Lo.))) Your perspective is skewed by your chauvinism. Also, it's ironic how men think of a perfect seductress with a body count of literally TWO MEN, the second only after the first guy died. Like, how insecure are you guys?! XD

  6. Literally all researches and teachers I heard said how Aeneid was a prime example of propaganda piece to justify autocracy to people who grew up in a Republic. If you have your alternate version, throwing phrases like "historically accurate" around, the burden of proof is on you. Literally wikipedia: "Virgil took the disconnected tales of Aeneas's wanderings, his vague association with the foundation of Rome and his description as a personage of no fixed characteristics other than a scrupulous pietas, and fashioned the Aeneid into a compelling founding myth or national epic that tied Rome to the legends of Troy, explained the Punic Wars, glorified traditional Roman virtues, and legitimized the Julio-Claudian dynasty as descendants of the founders, heroes, and gods of Rome and Troy..." Try reading Shakespeare, you'll find his plays are not even trying to hide they are commissioned to glorify things the Tudors (Richard II & Henrys), Scotland (MacBeth), and monarchy over democracy (Coriolanus). Vergil wasn't some perfect unbiased author in a vacuum, he also worked for the state.

  7. Artoria, the most popular queen of England... oh wait, Saber is technically a king.

  8. You forgot Nefertiti. She's the top 3 known Egyptians with Cleo and Nef's stepson, who, well... Tutankhamen is mostly known for his tomb, his reign was uneventful apart from restoring polytheism. The sequel to Ramses is also famous for the Percy Shelley poem Ozymandias, which mocks his "look at my works, ye mighty and despair" inscription that was found in a field of endless sand (like, WHAT works, lmao)... he's also an OP Rider. Cyrus is definitely most famous Persian, as he's the guy from Bible who Jews respect for freeing them from captivity, and screwing over Babylon and the Morpheus ship guy (don't ask me to spell Nebucah... Nobyhedzazzar), Herod is INfamous baby-killer from New Testament... Well, if Bible is your main source, I'd say the most famous pharaoh is the Exodus one BUT nobody knows his name... Obviously David and Solomon are the more famous kings from there. Finally, Leonidas is known for how he lost the battle so hard that Berserker guy steamrolled and burned down Athens to the ground. HOWEVER, Herodotus started the tradition of Europeans glorifying losses and building heroic propaganda around them, so Spartans became the first to lose so legendarily before things like Borodino, Light Brigade's Charge and Pearl Harbor copied the pattern by immortalizing heroism by the losing side in military disasters (it helps if the side who lost the battle won the war in the end though). Still, Cleopatra and Ceasar are the most popular historical figures of all time, period. Even German leaders literally called themselves Kaiser like up to WW1... russian word Tsar is literally just a form of Caesar. All because of a guy who got crazy over his Egyptian lover and decided to deify himself like pharaohs did in Egypt. The only one who can rival this couple in popularity is MAYBE Alexander the Great on male side, but there's no woman in history who's as well known as Cleopatra the seventh, Philopator.

  9. Imagine going out of your way to declare yourself a god, renaming a month after you, and still be mostly known as "the bad guy from Cleopatra..." in 2000 years...))) I looked up this Octavian, and, apparently, he actually got a film, even was played by Peter O'Toole (How to Steal a Million, also Priam in Troy)... in an Italian TV movie that nobody seen. :3 I mean, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Octavian doesn't even sound right! xD
