I wouldn't veto a single senate motion. I would listen to what Lepidus had to say, and that's what no did.

There were surprisingly few common names in ancient Rome. Octavius/Octavia just meant you were either the eighth child or were born in the eighth month.

He's alive, but definitely not healthy: he's had a lot of health issues, both fat related and not.
He's a lot slimmer nowadays too.

Romans had pathetically few proper names to cycle between, so children were very often just named directly after their parents, or another relative. Gaius Julius Caesar was also the name of the famous Caesar's father, and Augustus' full name after he changed it was Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, though historians and even his contemporaries still referred to him as "Octavianus" he himself did not.

Foreign heathen practicing the most stereotypical act of female "sorcery": ensnaring men.
It's really just an insult rather than an acknowledgement of supernatural powers.

Octavius was actually the name of his gens, his praenomen was Gaius
He is sometimes referred to as Octavianus to represent that he was a member of the gens Octavia adopted into the Gens Julia. Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus, or Scipio Aemilianus, had the name Aemilianus because he was originally from the gens Aemilia but was adopted by Scipio Africanus' son.
