I didn't like Octavian, I really didn't... but he just wanted the best for New Rome, even if he was just a simple-minded, backstabbing, power-hungry bastard. His death was extremely ridiculous, and not satisfying at all. If he had die, I would prefer it to happen like this: After the battle, he would try to stab some of our friends, like Reyna or Jason. Before he could do it, someone would a stick a sword in the belly and he would die muttering "For the people of Rome..." (or something like that)

Also, do you guys remember that when the Seven met Reyna in House of Hades, Frank mentioned putting Octavian in a catapult when they came back? Irony...
