Caesar slept (and nursed) here

A team of archaeologists in Rome believe they've found the house where Gaius Octavius--later Caesar Augustus, Rome's first emperor--was born in 63 BC. Flaky story link here ; the big news agencies don't seem to have picked it up yet. ETA 2/23/07 : Original story link is dead. Here, instead, is PhDiva's abstract of some Italian press coverage of the find.
