In this post-series episode, we examine the life of Octavia. She was the wife of Mark Antony, and was a useful pawn for her brother Octavian. Octavia played a large role in the death of the Roman Republic, and would live to become a member of the imperial family, sister to the first Roman Emperor. Octavia is the third woman examined in a short series of notable women from this period.

Death of the Roman Republic (DOTRR) is an educational podcast, and any clips from other media is used to transform and elevate its educational content, using modern media to help people relate to a 2000 year old story. (Speaking as a not-Fair Use expert), DOTRR seeks to use Fair Use, in transforming media clips used for educational purposes, and in that Death of the Roman Republic will never make a profit (no advertisements, Patreon, etc.).
*2024 update - Google Podcasts is apparently shutting down, I am attempting to upload to podcast to Spotify. Fingers crossed this works, I nonetheless have an always will do this for fun, and do not seek to make any profit, and use media to elevate education (without outdated memes and references) through transformative means.
