AUGUSTO: La Verdadera Historia y las cartas que casi lo DESTRUYEN. (Documental)

The True Story of Octavian Augustus (Full Documentary) We delve into the Late Roman Republic to discover the life of Gaius Octavius, later Octavian, and finally Augustus, from his birth until 27 BC, the exact moment the Republic died and the Roman Empire was born. We explore the most ruthless propaganda of antiquity and the battlefields stained with the blood of thousands of Romans. From his early steps under the shadow of his great-uncle Julius Caesar to his final confrontation with Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium. ⚔️ THE GREAT BATTLES THAT CHANGED HISTORY Munda (45 BC): The indirect baptism of fire where the young Octavian travels to Hispania to earn Caesar's respect. Mutina / Modena (43 BC): The moment Octavian proves he is no longer a child and takes command of the legions after the death of the consuls. Philippi (42 BC): The great revenge. The combined forces of the Second Triumvirate crush Caesar's assassins, Brutus and Cassius. Perugia (41-40 BC): The brutal Italian civil war against Mark Antony's wife (Fulvia) and her brother, culminating in a devastating famine. Naulochus (36 BC): The titanic naval battle against Sextus Pompey, where Agrippa's military genius saves Octavian's fate. Actium (31 BC): The final clash in the Ionian Sea that sealed the fate of Mark Antony and Cleopatra, leaving Octavian as the sole master of the Roman world. 📜 THE LETTERS OF MARK ANTONY AND THE PROPAGANDA WAR We'll examine real letters and speeches by Mark Antony attacking Octavian, accusing him of cowardice at Philippi for hiding in the swamp for three days and of having risen to power through Caesar's favor in bed. We'll see how Octavian counterattacked by publishing Mark Antony's supposed will in Rome, branding him a traitor dominated by a foreign queen. 🔥 SCANDALS, MYTHS, AND CRUELTY We also delve into the personal life and darker aspects of the future emperor: his obsession with dice, the rumors of his nights of debauchery disguised as the twelve gods—the infamous "Dinner of the Gods" during a famine—his ruthless political marriage to Livia while she was pregnant by another man, and the human sacrifices of 300 senators that he allegedly ordered after the siege of Perugia.
