Augustus (see below) became first Roman emperor; that is, the first absolute ruler of Rome. He established the political institutions of absolute rule by an emperor. He started the period of rule by emperors which followed the fall of the Roman Republic.

Octavian's original name was Gaius Octavius. His name changed to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Octavian in English) when he was adopted by his great-uncle Julius Caesar in his will in 44 BC. He became the first Roman emperor in 27 BC. When he became emperor, he obtained the title of Augustus (the venerable one), which became his traditional name. Historians use the name Augustus in reference to the period from 27 BC until his death in 14 AD and the name Octavian in reference to the period from 44 BC to 27 BC.
