ruthless! greedy, arrogant. "good" looking ;) In addition to the before mentioned characteristics, he was also very smart and cautious. He knew he was embarking on a new method of governing and had to take things step by step rather than springing a new government on the Roman people all at once, risking yet another civil war. He exercised this caution by gradually easing the remains of the republic into the principate. One of his favorite expressions was "make haste slowly" and this, I think, says it all about about the key to his success.

In public Augustus gave off the aura of simplicity and old fashioned Roman values and morals. In private he was congenial, liked his luxury, and his dice playing and in the few quotes that have come down to us from him, he seems to have been quite witty. He also had a sense of justice and a determined streak in him as evinced by his actions when he came to Rome to claim his inheritance.
