A Few decades afterwards Livy doubted whether Caesar's birth had been a blessing or a curse. That was an extreme doctrine: ‘Pompeianism’ like Livy's could be licensed under Augustus, but it was not orthodoxy; and to say that Caesar had been justly killed was a crime. Yet the one clear judg...

It was Ovid's clear language which was best fitted to sum up the Government's position: neque enim de Caesaris actis ullum maius opus, nisi quod pater exstitit huius.
