Augustus was born in 63 BC. He officially became sole ruler after the battle of Actium in 31 BC, but for several years previously had been consolidating his power in Rome. He died in 14 AD.
Claudius was born in 10 BC and became emperor in 41 AD. That would make him 51 years old when he became emperor.
He established 200 years of peace in Rome and made art important in Rome.
Augustus, who was born Gaius Octavius, was the founder of the Roman Empire. He served as Emperor of the Roman Empire for 41 years.
After Caesar's death Marc Antony was in charge as he was the remaining consul. Now here's where things get messy. Cicero and the senate began to throw their weight around and young Octavian came to Rome. Antony snubbed Octavian, who then co- operated with Cicero against Antony. 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.
Caesar's rule led to the end of the republic indirectly. The republic continued to exist for 14 years after his assassination. There were more civil wars. The last of these was won by Octavian, who went on to become the first Roman emperor (historians use the name Augustus for the period when he was the emperor). Octavian/Augustus used some of the reforms which Caesar had made. Caesar had concentrated power in his hands. Prior to this, the consuls (the two heads of the republic) and the other officers of state were elected annually. Towards the end of Caesar's rule they became his appointees. Augustus retained these changes. He also created a personality cult and Augustus did the same.

August is named for his nephew, Augustus, who became emperor about 20 years after Julius was assassinated.
There were no Roman emperors during Caesar's time. Rome was still a republic. The period of rule by emperor started in 27 BC, 17 years after Cesar's death, when Augustus became the first Roman emperor.

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, and commonly known as Nero, was Roman Emperor from 54 to 68.
The question of "who was first emperor of Rome" has never found a specific, definitive answer. Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus, or Caesar Augustus as he is known, was indeed by modern standards and considered by modern historians an Emperor, but it is not clear if he was first.
Augustus became the first Roman emperor in 27 BC, 18 years after the assassination of Julius Caesar. In between there were civil wars.
