Yeah but caesarion didnt try to take the throne

2018-12-13 11:50:31 UTC  

Besides clearly caesar wanted augustus to take it

2018-12-13 11:50:39 UTC  

since augustus was mighty capable

2018-12-13 11:50:45 UTC  

Wasn't he adopted by him as son tho.

2018-12-13 11:51:30 UTC  

Yep

2018-12-13 11:51:33 UTC  

augustus

2018-12-13 11:52:17 UTC  

In Polish we call him Octavian August or just Octavian, but in English it's Augustus.

2018-12-13 11:52:38 UTC  

octavian too sometimes.

2018-12-13 11:52:49 UTC  

I think he adopted that name upon taking the throne.

2018-12-13 11:53:54 UTC  

🤷

2018-12-13 11:54:07 UTC  

he also adopted caesar

2018-12-13 11:54:18 UTC  

son of god I think was his name

2018-12-13 11:54:23 UTC  

during jesus lol

2018-12-13 11:54:27 UTC  

>Why was that?
Hmm, no idea. Today many /pol/yps dislike Alexander's Empire for "multiculti", the fact he wanted to mix the Greek and Persian Empires.

2018-12-13 11:54:46 UTC  

He also wanted to conquer India, another Indo-Iranian people, but his army had it enough.

2018-12-13 11:55:19 UTC  

Didn't all Emperors adopt Augustus and Caesar into their names.

2018-12-13 11:55:43 UTC  

I dont think so

2018-12-13 11:55:43 UTC  

Late Roman Emperors/Early Byzantine Emperors were also called Flavius a lot.

2018-12-13 11:55:45 UTC  

but a lot

2018-12-13 11:58:59 UTC  

I see.

2018-12-13 11:59:07 UTC  

Last time I was reading about antiquity was long ago, lol.

2018-12-13 11:59:14 UTC  

I mostly remember stuff from school.

2018-12-13 12:03:54 UTC  

>Son of god

2018-12-13 12:04:00 UTC  

Reminds me, St. Constantine was deified during? his lifetime.

2018-12-13 12:04:06 UTC  

It continued after few next emperors too.

2018-12-13 12:22:16 UTC  

@Mr. X Do you know which god's he was a son of?

2018-12-13 12:22:38 UTC  

I had a book on Roman mythology, but I don't remember them really describing deified Emperors, lol.

2018-12-13 12:28:05 UTC  

Augustus?

2018-12-13 12:28:25 UTC  

Oh he used that name for son of god meaning son of caesar

2018-12-13 12:28:35 UTC  

because caesar was the egyptian son god

2018-12-13 12:28:58 UTC  

and of course was the creator of a new world

2018-12-13 12:29:21 UTC  

I wonder if Alexander would be proud of him

2018-12-13 12:37:24 UTC  

Ah.

2018-12-13 12:37:30 UTC  

Good question.

2018-12-13 12:37:34 UTC  

I think they used his casus.

2018-12-13 13:04:01 UTC  

I think alex would be proud

2018-12-13 13:14:21 UTC  

Well they never did conquer territory as big, but Alexander greatly wasn't focused on Europe.

2018-12-13 13:14:33 UTC  

They had nuisance with Persians and Parthians, whom Alexander conquered.

2018-12-13 13:14:47 UTC  

I believe Empire was at its height during Traian and had much land in Asia then.

2018-12-13 13:15:06 UTC  

its not just about conquring

2018-12-13 13:15:15 UTC  

I mean like as a leader
