My roommate is head over heals for a political activist Lyndon Larouche, cult leader extraordinaire. Larouche had a live web seminar in Virginia over the weekend so I tagged along with my roommate just to get a look see.
During his disertation he began talking about the concept of empire. He stated that during the second triumvirate Augustus made a pact with Mithraic magi on the island of Capri to oust Antony and Cleopatra. Larouche said that Rome was not the de facto ruler of the empire but was more of a front to the behind-the-scenes conglomerate powers of the middle east, Egypt and Rome itself.
Below I have quoted from various sites some more details concerning his distorted theory that he poses as fact.
"Specifically, as I have emphasized above, this has been the characteristic of anti-Semitism to the present day, since no later than the founding of the Roman Empire by Octavian, later named Augustus, through negotiations with the priests of the cult of Mithra on the Isle of Capri. Those negotiations concluded a phase of a process of evolution of Roman policy, a policy which had been set into motion during the Second Punic War and the ensuing Roman conquest of Syracuse."

"The most powerful form of this Satanic cult then, was the Syrian Magicians' cult of Mithra, which had been established as the leading cult of the Roman imperial legions, through an agreement reached between Augustus and Syrian magicians at the Isle of Capri."
