Semi-Protected Edit Request
Hi there, I would like to replace the image in the sidebar with a new one that I have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons that is of much higher resolution and sharpness. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Augustus_of_Prima_Porta.jpg compare with current https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Augustus_of_Prima_Porta_(inv._2290).jpg. Justin Benttinen (talk) 03:04, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
:I have done enough edits to make the change myself. The new image is both sharper and closer in color to the original in the Vatican Museums. Justin Benttinen (talk) 18:45, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Change "Ocavian" to "Octavian". Alexander.david.baumann (talk) 19:02, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Birth name of Augustus
The name is wrong. Gaius Octavius is right, but the cognomen, Thurinus is missing. Hazythundermc (talk) 13:42, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
:It's not missing, it's just given in the dedicated {{alink|Name}} section so it doesn't pointlessly clutter up the very first sentence of the article. Remsense ‥ 论 13:45, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
::Also, for fear of stating the obvious: a cognomen is a nickname in this period, and if you read the article you would know he was not born with this name, but given it as a toddler. Remsense ‥ 论 13:49, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
Residences
In the second paragraph of the section on Residences, a link is made to Villa Giulia (Naples), when it should be Villa Giulia (Ventotene). 95.92.212.16 (talk) 13:23, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
:Yeah, i took care of that; thanks for letting us know ~ LindsayHello 18:19, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
