As well, Gaius Octavius was like 19 when Caesar was killed, about 21 when the Battle of Phillipi was fought and around 30 or so for the Battle of Actium.  Max Pirkis could likely handle the "when Caesar was killed" part (and did), but once we hop to Phillipi and Actium, they likely felt an older actor was needed.</blockquote>
