Which was the historically accurate portrayal of Augustus Caesar? I, Claudius's cheerful party lover or Rome's severe autist?

>had to write down a script so he would have things to talk to his wife about at dinner
>convened the senate every other day to give him a new name he had dreamt up the night before
>concussed himself banging his head against the wall when learning of his army's defeat
Mega autist

Both were obviously ridiculous, I love Brian Blessed but I categorically never see him and Avgvstvs as anywhere near the same person, Brian is too loud and boisterous to play the guy that refused the shave or cut his hair and kept screaming about his legions for a month straight.
The faggot from Rome is probably closer, but they fucked him up too. So he fucks his sister, and then later we're supposed to believe he's worried about the marriage rate and children being born to imperial families and whether or not women are perceived as whores? lmao
When it comes down to it the child Octavian actor is the closest I think they came, his whole rant when Atia asks Vorenus if he'd like more rights was a great scene.

Both sucked dick. Read a Augustus biography if you really wanna know and shut the fuck up.
Samuel Lewis
Discussions don't need to only ever happen once.
Brayden Butler
one of those figures that couldnt be portrayed accurately. other examples: caesar, aurelian, diocletian, donald trump, kanye west

>Let me just say this out loud cuz I wanna get this straight in my head. You're saying that Caesar was gonna kill you and then when we got back, he was going to kill us, crown himself king and rule Rome as a tyrant. I'm right about that, right? That's correct? That's your story?
>>I swear on my mother Servilia's eternal soul that's what happened!
>The man you just killed just got declared dictator for life. He got legally elected by the people and senate of Rome. He could have fucking crowned himself. All he had to do was accept the crown from Marc Antony, but he didn't. He kept his fucking mouth shut. He did his fucking time as dictator and he did it like a man. He did two years for us. So Brutus, you're telling me that this uncle of mine who did two years for the senate, who in two years never asked for a crown no matter how often Antony dangled it in front of him, you're telling me that now that this man was made dictator perpetuus and the senate made good on their commitment to him HE'S JUST GONNA DECIDE OUT OF THE FUCKING BLUE TO RIP THE REPUBLIC OFF? Why don't you tell me what really happened?
Samuel Wilson

> after that he married Scribonia, who had been wedded before to two ex-consuls, and was a mother by one of them. He divorced her also, "unable to put up with her shrewish disposition," as he himself writes, and at once took Livia Drusilla from her husband Tiberius Nero
> Mark Antony charged him, besides his hasty marriage with Livia, with taking the wife of an ex-consul from her husband's dining-room before his very eyes into a bed-chamber, and bringing her back to the table with her hair in disorder and her ears glowing; that Scribonia was divorced because she expressed her resentment too freely at the excessive influence of a rival;89 that his friends acted as his panders, and stripped and inspected matrons and well-grown girls, as if Toranius the slave-dealer were putting them up for sale
Sounds like a chad

I, Claudius is certified kino but it definitely is not accurate in almost any respect
Adam Smith
He was a bottom for King Nicomedes.

Augustus was a very severe man overall. Very conservative in personal behavior, but as power hungry as any else.
Landon Rodriguez
wasn't that julius caesar?
Dominic Rodriguez
Caesar left men alive who obviously hated his guts in some vain attempt to please everyone. He ended up dead. Augustus was bright enough to not repeat that mistake.
Logan Murphy
You're right; I wasn't paying much attention.

Second for Autistus Caesar
Wyatt Price
I'm autistic. How do I become as successful as Augustus?

Those sorts of rules were mostly for the plebs, the shit he did was never intended as an example for the public. Only Caesar gets to be Caesar
Josiah Flores
The conditions that allowed Augustus to rise will never be seen again, you are trapped in neoliberal hell, enjoy my dear autist.

Be able to think as people around you think. Preach tradition to the stodgy old assholes, offer safety to the frightened, relief to the suffering. Back winners. Promise everything and graciously apologize for the things you don't want to deliver on. Be a hero.

Thanks based user. Wish we'd had more scenes between Vorenus, Octavian, and Atia.
Ryan Parker
I hated the sister-fucking part. Augustus relationship with his sister was his one relatable human characteristic and they made it weird.
Noah Price
He seemed to genuinely like Pullo.
