Why was Augustus Caesar afraid of the dark?
because he was scared that the gods would come down from the heavens to get revenge for his sins.
How did Caesar Augustus Come to power?
Augustus came to power by winning it. Even though he was adopted and named Caesar's heir he had an uphill climb to reach the ultimate success. By smart political moves in Rome and by winning the last republican civil war at Actium, he finally gained the supreme power.
Who was more successful Julius Caesar of Augustus?
This questions has several layers to it. I'll approach it head on without dealing with any side issues. Augustus Caesar was more successful than his uncle, Julius Caesar. I am defining "success" as it affects ancient Rome. Augustus united the empire in a way Julius Caesar could not. Augustus swept away all opposition and created what is now called the Pax Romana. Augustus ( in relative terms ) brought a good degree of peace & prosperity during his life time and the affects lingered on for another 200 years. With sole power he could invest large amounts of money to build public works, reform the bureaucracy and reduce the number of legions under arms. Julius Caesar's life was cut short. When he controlled Rome, defectors worked on his demise. Due to time, he had not enough of it to crush his opposition. Thus he was unable to come close to his nephews accomplishments.

Where does the title Augustus come from?
All Roman emperors bore the title of Augustus. This was an honorary title bestowed by the senate on the first Roman emperor whom historians call Augustus, even though this was not his actual name. Early historians after the fall of Rome, originally made the error of believing that Octavian was given a new "name". Prior to this the term had been applied only to holy objects and places. His original name was Gaius Octavius. Following Roman naming convention, his name changed to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus when he was adopted by Julius Caesar in 44 BC. He did not actually use the name Octavian (which historians use to indicate the period between his adoption and his becoming emperor). After the deification of Julius Caesar in 42 BC he chose to have himself called Gaius Julius Caesar Divi Filius (Gaius Julius Son of the Divine Caesar). In 38 BC he added the title imperator (winner in battle) and his name became Imperator Gaius Julius Caesar Divi Filius. When he was bestowed the title of Augustus, his name became Imperator Gaius Julius Caesar Divi Filius Augustus.Augustus comes from the Latin verb augere, which means to augment. It is usually translated as The Venerable One. It was a religious title, not a political one.The emperors also had the title of Caesar, after Julius Caesar and Augustus' name, until the reign of the 51st emperor, Diocletian. He established what historians have called the tetrarchy (rule by four) with two senior emperors (Augusti, plural of Augustus) and two junior ones (Caesars). Because of this Maximian (the other Augustus) did not take the title of Caesar and when Galerius and Constantius became senior emperors, their title changed to Augusti and Caesar was dropped.The title of Caesar became associated with a junior imperial little and went out of use. The next emperors of the tetrarchy system, Licinius and Constantine the Great did not use this title. Neither did all subsequent emperors. They just used the title of Augustus.

Was the 365 day calendar invented in 1582?
Previous answer:No it was invented by the Romans in 46 AD and was called the "Julian calendar" because Julius Caesar was emperor. When Caesar was murdered the month of August was named after him.This is not entirely correct. No, the 365 day was not invented in 1582, but it was not invented in 46 AD by Julius Caesar either. What Caesar did was change the Roman calender to 365 days but he did not come up with the concept of the 365 day calender himself. He consulted with Sosigenes of Alexandria who suggested to him an adoption of the 365 day Egyptian solar calender with a modification to include an extra day every fourth year, for a leap year. This idea had been tried before in Egypt, by Ptolemy III but the Egyptian people refused to follow it.Also, it is not quite true that August was named for Julius Caesar after he was murdered. Augustus Caesar, Julius Caesar's successor, named it after himself in 8 AD.

Brutus' fear of what Caesar may become is justified?
Undoubtedly. Caesar was already Dictator for life which is as close to king as you can come without having the title and regalia. He had already made the pattern for the future Imperator, his nephew Augustus, who would destroy the Republic (but not its forms) for ever.
Information on the Origin of month of October?
The last four months of the year are named after numbers. September (from the Latin for seventh month), October (8th), November (9th), and December (10th). But wait! Isn't October the 10th month? Isn't December the 12th month? Of course they are. These names come from the Latin words (Septimus, Octavus, Nonus, Decimus) but date from a calendar that had only 10 months. Two months named for emperors (Caesar Julius, Caesar Augustus) were inserted into the new "Julian" calendar, leaving us with the word for 8th month attached to our 10th month. Silly? Yes. True? Yes.
