How did Augustus come a emperor?

Answer 1

<p><p> Basically, the assassination of Julius Caesar caused it. Octavian (young Augustus) was the official heir of Julius Caesar but he had a lot of enemies who wanted to defeat him (Marcus Antonius being one of them). He won the Battle of Actium against Marcus Antonius and returned to Rome as a triumphant. He'd observed Julius Caesar and what caused his assassination, so he knew that he had to go slow and keep the Roman traditions because that was what Julius Caesar did not do. He did not declare himself as an emperor as soon as he got the power, he waited for the right time although he had the complete power long before he declared himself as an emperor, but with different titles. People trusted him and he made Senate know that Rome needed him. When he became the emperor, Romans were truly happy about it.
