What led to the rule of Caesar Augustus?

Answer 1

Octavius Ceasar became emperor of Rome after his great-uncle Julius Ceasar was killed. Julius Ceasar conquered almost the entire European region, and then the triumvirate, which was ruling Rome and which he was a part of, called him back to Rome. Julius was frustrated because he had more lands he wished to conquer. He killed the other members of the triumvirate and was welcomed back to Rome and made emperor. He ruled for a very short time before he was murdered. many members of the senate were very upset that Rome now had a single ruler and the had a plot to kill him. The conspirators, including one of Ceasar's best friends, stabbed Ceasar to death. Ceasar's right hand man took the throne, but then Ceasar's will was discovered. Ceasar named his great-nephew Octavius to be the next emperor. Octavius Ceasar took the throne and gave himself the title "Augustus" which means "Exalted One".

Answer 2

The events that led up to Caesar's taking power were cumulative. There's no single event that can be pointed out as the main one. The breakup of the first triumvirate was certainly an important factor, as was the power of Caesar's enemies in the senate. The death of Caesar's daughter who was Pompey's wife, was a major factor. The senate was wanting to prosecute Caesar for irregularities during his consulship and they ordered him to disband his army. All these acted as a force to cause Caesar to lead a rebellion against the senate and to assume supreme power.

Answer 3

Concerning Julius, it was his own ambition that led to his rise. He came up through the political ranks as was proper for his time. After his first counsulship, he was awarded the governorship of Gaul for five years and that's where he made his reputation (and money). As for Augustus, his rise came about after the murder of Julius, as he had been made Caesar's heir.
