Mark
Toher, professor of classics, published
the article “Octavian's Arrival in Rome,
44 BC,” in Classical Quarterly 54
(2004): 174-184. The article explores how long it took Caesar's adopted son to
arrive in Rome
after the assassination. Toher's work establishes a definitive chronology, thus
contributing substantially to our knowledge of how accomplished a politician
Caesar's heir may (or may not) have been at the very beginning of his career.
