![]() ![]() Augustus begrudgingly adopts Tiberius to make sure the Caesar line continues. ![]() Even if it's a bad heir, a Roman man always needed to keep the line going. Since Caesar didn't have any children or seem to want to, it is likely that he kept tabs on the boy as a possible heir should he never father one. He would have kept regular correspondence on the boy with Atia, his niece. And he would have definitely visited for the birth of Octavius in 63 before he goes to Gaul in 58. Caesar was very close to his mother's side of the family due to them helping protect him during the dictatorship of Sulla. Velletri is just down the road from Rome, not more than a morning travel by horse and cart. If I remember correctly, Octavius is his mother's sister's grandson? Octavian's mom marries the governor of Macedon, Thurinus, and they settle in Velitrae (Velletri).
