Greybeard has to learn to check facts, ON EVERY CLUE. The BC clue was accurate but as it turns out, it was AD also. I should have known that off the top of my head. And that should be a dead give away. Edited November 23, 2020 by Greybeard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) 30 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said: Augustus Caeser Bingo. Your up. On a side note, I did not expect some of the difficulty I had giving clues. I thought Julius was his uncle, turns out it was his great uncle. To make matters worse, Julius adopted him. So the clue I originally thought I would give had to be modified to something more general, "has a close relative more famous than he is." He was the first "Emperor" of Rome. He had more names than "Exiled has carp." I had one good clue left but couldn't think of a clever way to inject "August" into it. I tip my hat to Gugny for the Jesus Christ guess. He sure enough fit many of the clues. Even more odd, Augustus was thought to be a god at the time of his death.
