"With additional voices from"
You narrated half of the episode. Even more, you narrated the part that contains actual episode and not the dialogues for the bigger storyline. That is not something you describe as additional.

FUN FACT if you go to 20:01 in ep. 6 right when Augustus jumps on the table, you can hear a guy in bell-bottom jeans say “That is not groovy, man” this is completely true

honestly augustus was the funniest guy to end up being the first emperor of rome. he wore platform shoes to make himself look taller. he made vegetable-based puns and quips. he used to call the poet horace "penis" as a nickname. this is the man who defeated mark antony and gained sole power over rome

As late as the fourth century CE in a satire attributed to the emperor Julian, Octavian (the later Augustus) is described as “changing many colors, like a chameleon: becoming now pale and now red”. In the satire, the god Silenus reacts to seeing Octavian by saying, “Bless me, what changeable beast is this! What terrible thing will he do to us!”
For comparison we have Pliny the Elder's comment on chameleons from his Natural History 8.120: "And [the chameleon] is more miraculous for the nature of its color, for it constantly changes its eyes and tail and entire body, and always resembles whatsoever it touches last, except red and white”
Pliny’s mention of the chameleon’s inability to turn “red and white” (rubrum candidumque) makes Julian’s description of Octavian turning pale (ὠχριῶν) and red (ἐρυθρὸς) take on a greater significance because it shows that Octavian is then more skilled than a chameleon at changing color by possessing the capability to turn both red and white.
Although Silenus' comment makes it clear that Octavian's color-changing should be seen as a reflection of his instability and danger, the change in color could also be an allusion to Octavian's constant change in health as ὠχριῶν refers to becoming pallid. Pliny further strengthens this reading by writing that when dead, chameleons are pale (defuncto pallor est). Thus Octavian is constantly changing between a state of near-death and great vitality as implied by Julian's ἐρυθρὸς and Pliny's rubrum, both of which can mean having a ruddy complexion.

It's the late Roman Republic...
Now put in the tags what you selected and who you THINK it's referring to... Because I sneakily had at least two people in mind when I made each option and when the poll is over I'll reveal who I had in mind for each option

Statues of Agrippa and Augustus side by side on the Cologne City Hall. It was Agrippa who first settled the Germanic tribe of the Ubii in the area and the settlement was known as Ara Ubiorum.
Agrippa's granddaughter Agrippina the Younger was born in the town, which became an important military base, in 15 AD when her father Germanicus was campaigning against the Germans. In 50 AD on Agrippina's urging Claudius promoted it to the Colony and it was renamed Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium. Her statue is also featured on the city hall, a short space from these two.
