Another great piece of Roman history is how Augustus was able to portray himself as the great restorer of liberty, freedom and the republic when he not only killed most of the strong senatorial families, ruled via terror lists and of course founded an Imperial dynasty. Even today people view him as a great humanitarian.

Sorry, we don't allow throughout history questions. These tend to produce threads which are collections of trivia, not the in-depth discussions about a particular topic we're looking for. If you have a specific question about a historical event or period or person, please feel free to re-compose your question and submit it again.

However, "historical Events that never actually happened" might make a good candidate for our recurring Tuesday Trivia feature, so I would suggest you contact /u/caffarelli as she handles the running of that.
