This story is probably apocryphal, but its cute.
One day a youth came to Rome and the crowds quickly noticed he looked just like the Emperor Augustus when he was the same age. Word reached the palace and Augustus was intrigued so he had some guards bring the kid to see him. Augustus was amazed at how spitting an image of himself as a boy the youth looked. Jokingly, he asked if the boy’s mother had ever been to Rome. “No”, said the young man, “but my dad has.”
