A Necessary Fiction (S02E08)

Octavian announces a new age of virtue in Rome, a mandate that proves difficult for his relatives and allies to follow. Vorenus is tasked with investigating a hijacked shipment of gold that was destined for the Roman treasury. Meanwhile, Pullo, consumed by grief and anger, turns his fury toward Memmio, Omnipor, and their thugs. Octavian also seeks Livia as a suitable wife, while delivering an ultimatum to Mark Antony that he knows he will have no choice but to accept.
