Wills were routinely kept with the Vestal Virgins. Even foreigners filed theirs there because the persons of the Vestals were so sacrosanct that no one would dare to touch them (let alone enter the Temple of Vesta with armed men. The Vestals lived in a place called the Domus Publica which was also the residence of the Pontifex Maximus (Caesar until his death).
Octavian far from cowering arouond the outskirts of Rome was busy asserting his right to be Caesar's heir.
Throughout the next seventeen years Octavian fought to obtain power in Rome -- In 43 BC he formed the Second Triumvirate (a three man dictatorship) along with Antony and Lepidus.
The following year Brutus and Cassius die
Six years later Pompey dies (at the hands of the Egyptians).
Though we have reached episode 3 we still have yet to meet Octavian's best friend and the author of his military triumphs: Marcus Vispanius Agrippa.moreless
AIRED:
Atia, Caesar's sister and Octavius' mother, has kept his will hidden and safe from the senate. When she is coerced to speak to the public at his funeral, she reveals that Caesar names Octavius as his heir, much to the disappointment of Marc Anthony, one of Caesar's generals and closest friends.moreless
