There was not any connection between Augustus and the Zealots. The Zealots were a radical Jewish group which led to the rebellion which historians call the Great Revolt or the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 AD) which occurred under the reigns of Nero and Vespasian. The Zealots had been around longer than that. There are divergent opinions about their origins. Josephus (the Jewish-Roman writer) said that they emerged in 6 AD. According to other scholars, they originally were bandits who resisted Herod the Great (reigned 37-4 BC). However, according to one historian, the first open break between Jews and Romans occurred during the Reign of Caligula when he ordered a statue of himself to be erected in the Temple In Jerusalem. Caligula's assassination prevented a violent Jewish rebellion.

A war ensued, reconciliation, and the second triumvirate was formed culminating in Octavian winning the battle of Actium and becoming sole ruler. All this took about 13 years before Octavian/Augustus became the sole ruler.
