He was a clever one. He avoided taking absolute power (which had brought down Julius Caesar), sharing it with the Senators to keep them happy, but keeping overall by assuming background powers of Tribune of the Plebs at home, and pro-consul overseas, plus controlling the border provinces which was where the army was.

He called himself Augustus, which avoided the accusation of kingship and Dictatorship, and used the old fashioned office of Princeps - first citizen. A careful camouflage which lasted for 200 years. He set about stabilising Rome's empire and improving the security and prosperity of the people. The title Emperor did not exist (other than the word Imperator - an acclamation reserved for a successful general on a battlefield) which we later came to use for absolute rulers of empires.
