Who ruled Rome after Julius Caesar?
The answer is Augustus. After his assassination in 44 BC, the Senate tried to reestablish the Republic, but its champions, Marcus Junius Brutus (descendant of the founder of the republic) and Gaius Cassius Longinus were defeated by Caesar's lieutenant Mark Antony and Caesar's nephew, Octavian. The years 44-31 mark the struggle for power between Marc Anthony and Octavian (later known as Augustus). Finally, in September 2nd, 31 BC, in the Greek promontory of Actium, the final battle took place in the sea. Octavian was victorious, and became the sole ruler of Rome (and its empire). That date marks the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Principate. Cristina Rizzi Answer found on Wikipedia guys!

Octavian fought for the senate. However the senate gave more rewards to another man, Decimus Brutus, for the defeat of Mark Antony, and tried to give the former the command of the consular legions. As a result Octavian refused to fight Mark Antony any further and demanded to be given the vacant office of consul and that that Mark Antony should be declared no longer an enemy of the state. When the senate refused, he marched on Rome with eight legions. He made himself be selected as consul. Meanwhile, Mark Antony allied with Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, a leading former supporter of Caesar.
