A Day in the Life of Octavia

5/17/11

Lead the Way, Destruction and Anguish - Post #1

       Mark Antony and I are arranged to be married in October. The reason for this is because my former and first husband, Gaius Claudius Marcellus Minor, and Antony's former and third wife, Fulvia, have both died. In addition, we are being married in order to secure the uneasy association with my brother, Octavian, and Antony. However, I believe Antony will not be as loyal to me as I will. I suspect he will form or already has a relationship with Cleopatra VII.

However, we do have our very own coin!

    @Fulvia: Your reason seems to be legitimate. (Between you and me, I don't want to marry Antony.)

    I hope you and Mark Antony have a good marriage I wish you all of the best.
    Just between girls, what are you wearing? Are you wearing a traditional tunica recta? Was it hard to tie the Nodus Herculaneus (the knot of Hercules)? The reason I am asking these questions is because I am going to marry Claudius soon and have a few worries about my attire!

    Octivia,
    I found some new makeup you may like for your October wedding! For foundation I have found I like orris root. This makes a nice pail white color which will make you look like a goddess! And I also found some eye shadow that my slave said was made from saffron! Well I hope this helps on your big day!

    Valeria, you have been very kind to me! Actually, I am not sure what sort of attire I will wear to my wedding. However, I am almost positive our wedding will be public. My clothing must be extravagant! I will certainly take up on your suggestions! Thank you oh so much!
