Oh, I see now that a level of attribution was missing when I responded
elsewhere. I thought Mike987 was the name of the original poster, but
that was Adam Schwartz.

Mike, that "himself" up above makes it sounds like we should only are
about Augustus, and Livia is a nobody. I do not see that Adam was trying
to convey any comparative worth.
