When Caesar seized power, he concentrated power in his hands. Towards the end of his rule, the officers of state, who during the republic were elected, became the appointees of Caesar. He also introduced a personal religious cult based on a claim that his family descended for the goddess Venus. After Caesar's assassination there were further civil wars. Augustus emerged as the final victor and gained control of the army. He used his power to dismantle the institutions of the republic, establish is personal absolute rule and became the first Roman emperor, thus starting the 506-year period of rule by emperors. Augustus created his own state bureaucracy and continued both the practice of officials being appointees of the ruler and the claim that the imperial family (Augustus was the adoptive son of Caesar) was of divine descent.
