Nobody has mentioned Niobe (Indira Varma). Stunningly gorgeous and not a bad actress.
I don't think they'll jump to Octavian's rule in the second season. It's too discontinuitous. There's too much history between where the show is currently and the beginning of Octavian's reign(5ish years? BC 49 - 44). They've easily got several seasons worth of material until that point.
I think Octavian becoming emperor would be a good way to end the series depending on ratings, how the story has played out and the interest level of those involved, etc.
