AUGUSTUS ; the Roman Peace

Up to the elbows and besmear our swords. Then walk we forth, even to the marketplace, And, waving our red weapons o’er our heads, Let’s all cry “Peace, freedom, and liberty!”

You kissed the picture of a statue of Augustus Caesar in history textbook before drawing hearts over the pictures in a playful manner.

Which led to you ending up in Ancient Rome, in Augustus Caesar's reign.

And because of your strange clothes and frightened attitude, you were dragged to the emperor, accused of being an intruder.

The emperor spoke to you in Latin while you only stared at him in fear and confusion.

From your expressions and reactions, Octavian realized that you are harmless.

He ordered to have your things taken away, and for you to be taken and clothed in Roman clothes, as he decided to have you under his care until he understands who exactly are you.

No one has sparked his curiosity like you.

In less than two months you were taught Latin.

But through those two months, you also managed to build many friendships.

Even with the young daughter of the emperor, Julia, the eight-years-old child adores you.

But now, you are forced to stand in front of Augustus and speak to him in the language you were taught.

"I'm not from here." you admit.

"I have noticed the first time from your improper clothing, I wish to know everything about you."

"Even if what I'm going to tell you is considered madness?"

With a nod from him, you begin telling him everything about yourself, and how you found yourself in this timeline.

This was a huge mistake on your part, as this made the Roman emperor obsessed with you and knowing about the future.

Everything you needed, was granted.

Octavian would spend long hours with you in his chambers, discussing many different matters.

You have so much knowledge, something he respects in a person.

When in reality, the knowledge you got is only from three sources, books, school, and YouTube.

However, sometimes he feels like you act like a child who needs to be corrected.

"Do you have a husband in your timeline?"

One day while having a walk in the gardens Augustus inquires about your marital situation.

"Yes." you lie, feeling uncomfortable under his sharp gaze.

You are not naive to the way he is interested to you and the hints he gives here and there.

But you would rather have boundaries.

"I suppose he must miss you dearly, he is unfortunate in many ways."

"Unfortunate, how so?" you ask, curiosity peeking.

"His wife is going to marry the emperor of Rome."

Your heart beats raises in fear, as you try to move away, but Caesar grabs your left wrist to stop you.

"I'm married, this would be considered infidelity." you say with a disgusted tone at how he still chooses to pursue you.

hey so my fic is now published! It’s a kind of AU of the Iliad where Aeneas (the prince of Troy that diomedes threw a rock at) escaped the city and has a Odyssey type adventure where he ends up founding Rome (but not really it’s complicated)

#thank you so much to Octavian #made sure to bring you and your family line up in there dw #imagine he’s actually on here #mea scribens #Aeneid

This is the new statue me and my friends were commissioned to make. It shows Octavian Augustus triumphantly positioned, with depictions of gods on his chest plate representing his divine lineage.

No because I am FINE with my one Sabine Estate. Because if you think about it, we’re all going to die and end up in the same place anyway. So, like, am I mad that all my other homes were confiscated by the state??? Obviously not, why would I be

#really it’s weird that any of YOU have multiple houses and gold plated ceilings #and huge pillars #like you don’t need to flaunt like that #if you think about it I am more virtuous than them because I am fine with less #txt #vent post

Hey guys and gals! Did any of you guys read @vergil’s fic and think “why didn’t Dido get mad at Aeneas and yell at him for leaving her”? (I’m not saying it’s sexism but 😬) So anyway I’ve updated my fic (where I take women from famous plays and poems and give them more agency) to have an Aeneid chapter! Link below the cut

AUGUSTUS: THE ACTOR

“Have I have played my part well in the comedy of life? If so, clap your hands and dismiss me from the stage with applause.” -Augustus Caesar on his Deathbed 14AD
