Bring me the head of ... Octavian?! - D B Campbell - 11-16-2008 Octavian?! (Report: international.ibox.bg/news/id_455439417) :roll: Hmmm ... I don't think so. Re: Bring me the head of ... Octavian?! - PhilusEstilius - 11-16-2008 I wonder if we are going to get yet another G. W. Bush situation, or would you think Duncan it might just look like Marcus Antonius. Re: Bring me the head of ... Octavian?! - Virtus Probi Invicti - 11-17-2008 Mark Antony was my immediate thought, also...the nose and chin. Perhaps Maximus, son of Maximinus, if the young man was starting to show signs of inheriting his father's acromegaly? :? I am certainly no art expert of any kind, but, to be honest, that item looks very suspicious to me. Re: Bring me the head of ... Octavian?! - Gaius Julius Caesar - 11-17-2008 Sulla?

Octavian?! - PhilusEstilius - 11-17-2008 I begin to think that with all of these recent busts of various emperors that are appearing lately might there be some sort of scam going on, for they all are in such very good condition and looks like they are mostly coming out of eastern Europe. Re: Bring me the head of ... Octavian?! - LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS - 11-17-2008 :roll: :wink: Suspicious, it's true, Brian!! Re: Bring me the head of ... Octavian?! - caiusbeerquitius - 11-17-2008 If Augustus, certainly not official.
