Octavian

The points Octavian makes our about himself, sort of a manifesto. The bronze manifesto tells us about how he brought peace and prosperity to Rome and how he brought Egypt into the Roman empire and so on. On occasion when the President makes speeches, he will announce his victories and yet not announce his losses. The leaders of two of the greatest countries will have one strong link; they both had leaders that were much liked by its people. And in the case of Octavian, he would announce his accomplishments in writing because of the different types of media in those days. hese writings were well written in 3rd person form and were quite accurate to a point. " The manifesto sums up the "good" Octavian had brought to the Roman empire and was good at showing the basics of he had accomplished therefore the article was very informing for that chapter. He wrote this to have people remember what he has accomplished and hopes to have this remembered therefore engraving the writings into bronze. His victories include peace in Ireland and the Kosovo conflict and his losses that include the Monica Lewinsky matter and the ongoing conflict in Iraq.

Octavian explains his good in a fashion that may be related to the president of the United States, Bill Clinton. If the article was placed elsewhere it would have been awkward do to the fact of how the 6th chapter opens up.

The two men are both considered to be predominate figures in history, with the rise and fall of the Roman empire, and the rise of and peaking power of the United States, more comparisons are going to be made from the leaders. Unlike Octavian, Bill Clinton did make a list of his accomplishments but rather mention them during speeches to the press.

The article on the tablets was well placed because it was a page after the story of the "second triumvirate.
