He gained control of the Roman army and accumulated large sums of money through the spoils of war. He used these to establish his personal rule. He drastically reduced the size the army which had became too large as rival parties hired troops to fight the civil wars and put the army and the recruitment of soldiers under the control of the emperor. He created a military treasury so that the soldiers were paid by the emperor and the they would be loyal to the emperor (previously they were paid by the commanders who levied them). He created an imperial bureaucracy which was subordinate to him, tackled the problem of corruption and created a strong administration.

The republic had became inadequate to deal with imperial expansion and was unable to control the governors of the provinces of the empire. This laid the foundation for the 200-year period of relative political stability in the Roman Empire which historians call the Pax Romana (Roman Peace).
