Ken Marshall Posts: 804 Joined: 20th Jun 2012 Location: Australia | Posted at 12:35 on 13th December 2014 I have never studied ancient history so I can only take a wild guess. T. O stands for Octavian who was Gaius Julius Octavius or Augustus .The next emperor of Rome was Tiberius. |
| rustyruth Posts: 18775 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 13:58 on 13th December 2014 You are well on the right track here Ken. O is indeed for Octavian (Octavius). He did became Augustus the first Emperor. But look at the other initials in both sequences. I am looking at a period before the first Emperor. Two of the people are very famous. |

Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 20:07 on 13th December 2014 Well I know nothing about Rome so 'cheated' with Google Did think of Sid James |
Vince Hawthorn Posts: 12758 Joined: 19th Apr 2010 Location: UK | Posted at 21:31 on 13th December 2014 I would not know where to start looking, an area of history that has evaded me. |
| rustyruth Posts: 18775 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 12:09 on 14th December 2014 You got it Dave well done, I didn't really expect anyone to get this without Google. I was just looking for Lepidus, going on the names they are mainly referred to in history rather than their full names. They are the six men who made up the 1st and 2nd Triumverate of Rome. Over to you Dave |
but think it is Marcus Amelius Lepidus ??? Would never have got that in a year of Sundays without googling
