what can i say about this . such a big prestige production but in the end . wasted time and waste money . this work a disaster be historically see . only some example represent augustus often be name gaius his first name ( pronomen ) . but the old roman do not use this name . correct would be the surname ( nomen gentile and cognomen ) or the octavian and caesar and augustus . livia be show a tyrannic wife . but this historically wrong . iulia be show a nice young woman but she wasn not one . adultery and ( maybe . ) prostitution and arrogant behavior be the cause of her banishing . she wasn not at the die bed of her father . she never be allow to leave her banishing . and she be at this time around 50 year old . not as young a she be show . in the same year augustus die she commit suicide and because tiberius stop give her a pension . augustus be much more scruplesless then in this movie show . but author and director seem to believe augustus own re gestae . what remain . historically extremely doubtful and bad acting and bad build and equipment 2 point out of 10 one for peter otoole .
