[edit] Grandfather in Second Punic War?

It's not impossible, but it seems strange: If Gaius Octavius was 50 years old when Augustus was born (63 BCE), and Gaius Octavius' father's age was 50 years when G. O. was born, and G. O.'s grandfather was also 50 years of age at the birth of G. O.'s father, then the grandfather was born in 213 BCE and was thus still a child at the time of the Second Punic War. It seems improbable that they all begot their children at such advanced ages. 43.244.203.243 00:26, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
