Cool list but random. The names range about six hundred years. Ancient Rome is focused around Augustus (30 BC - 14 AD). Thus, ten Romans similar to Augustus might be:
Julius Caesar (d. 44 BC)
Pompey the Great (106-29 BC)
Mark Antony (83-30 BC)
Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt (69-30 BC)
Virgil (70-19 BC)
Agrippa (63-10 BC)
and writers Livy, Ovid, Stabo, and Catullus.

Here's the original list:
The 10 best ancient Romans. Unfortunately, not one of yours appears on this one, either. Not sure what that means but it's fun rediscovering these ancient figures.
