Octavia's Death

She ordered 10,000 cesterces to be granted to Virgil for each of the verses. She is also buried in the more Selim of Augustus right next to her son, Marsalis. Her death must have been quite the public event. But not all the honours voted for her were accepted by Augustus. Even though the funeral itself was an enormous operation, there's often this idea that you don't give especially to women all of the honours because it shows a little bit of Modesty.
