So I have a Model UN conference and our committee is Roman Senate. We must become our senators and host debate. The topics are restoring order to the republic and what to do post-Caesar assassination.
So my problem is researching to find out who Marcus Octavius is. Since it's the equivalent of "John Smith" in status of the name. Who was he? What were his stances?
I really appreciate any help. Get some good looking credit for doing MUN as well as learn a thing or two? I'm down.
Hello there. Your question seems to be related to school work, so we just want to remind you, and any potential respondents, that our rules DO permit people to ask for help with their homework, so long as they are seeking clarification or resources, rather than the answer itself. This policy is further explained in this META Thread.
Additionally, while our users may be able to help you out here, we hope that you also will take the time to check out our six-part series, "Finding and Understanding Sources", which should hopefully prove to be helpful for you as you continue in your research.
The only Marcus Octavius that occurs to me is the tribune that opposed Ti. Gracchus 90ish years before Caesar's assassination. Are you sure that's the right name?
