Augustus’ Empire In Cicero’s letter he wrote to Atticus, Cicero had a very biased view of young Octavius. Cicero accused the young Octavius of not being able to be a “good citizen”. Although, Octavius’ description of himself as a citizen fits Cicero’s definition of what a “good citizen” should do and say.
