Could Caesar have been Augustus' real father?

It is accepted that Augustus was born the great-nephew of Caesar, his mother being Caesar's sister's daughter, his father Gaius Octavius; after Caesar died, he adopted Augustus in his will, leaving him everything, including his name. But I have a sneaking suspicion that Caesar was the *real* biological farther of Augustus, having had a child by his neice. This would explain why he adopted him in his will. Do any historians hold to this view?

I bought this Dunhill Rollagas second-hand and was wondering what year it is from. It has a W inside the lid

I recently bought what I *thought* was a nice-looking Swiss watch from some brand I hadn't heard of. Turns out it's actually a super obvious Mumbai Special edition of the very well-known brand Oris.

So, I was thinking I could open the watch and paint over the name and country of origin. I could paint out the name entirely, or I could paint out bits of the letters to make a different name (e.g. *PI* or *CRIS* or *OPIS*, etc.). Any other ideas, please?

Thinking of buying this Mascot watch - I like vintage Swiss watches. Just wanting to check if it's real or fake

There's a mod for the game called *The Thing Continuity* - but is this a mod for the original 2002 game, or the 2024 remaster?
