He did became Augustus the first Emperor. But look at the other initials in both sequences. I am looking at a period before the first Emperor. Two of the people are very famous. |

I was just looking for Lepidus, going on the names they are mainly referred to in history rather than their full names. They are the six men who made up the 1st and 2nd Triumverate of Rome. Over to you Dave |
