Augustus was the adoptive son of Gaius Julius Caesar. His original name was Gaius Octavius. Upon his adoption by Caesar, in accordance with Roman customs, he took Caesar's name and become Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. Historians use the name Octavian for the period from his adoption in 44 B.C to his becoming emperor in 27 B.C. However, he quickly dropped Octavian and had himself called Caesar and was known by this name. In 42 B.C., after the deification of Gaius Julius Caesar, he had himself called Gaius Julius Caesar Divi Filius (son of the Divine). In 38 B.C. he had his name changed again. He dropped Gaius and Julius and adopted the title imperator (winner in battle). His name became Imperator Caesar Divi Filius. In 27 B.C. he was given the honorary title of Augustus (which is usually translated as The Venerable One) and his name became Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus. Historians use Augustus for the period from 27 B.C to his death in 14 A.D.
After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Octavian/Augustus fought a civil war against the forces of the assassins of Caesar (who called themselves libertores) together with the two allies he had formed the Second Triumvirate (three-man alliance): Lepidus and Mark Antony. After winning this war he shared power with Mark Antony. The former took charge of the western territories and the latter took charge of the eastern ones. He then fought a civil was against Marc Antony, which was a battle over who would become the sole rule of Rome and her empire. After winning this was he brought the Roman Republic to an end, established his absolute personal ruler, became the first Roman emperor and thus started Rome's 503-year period of absolute rule by emperors. It was when he became the emperor that he assumed the honorary title of Augustus.

Augutus had the task of fixing Rome's broken government once he took control. One of the first things he did was to reduce the size of the massive army that he inherited.

By doing this he established a national army and reduced the chances of another civil war. He repaired the infrastructure of the city of Rome and restored or totally rebuilt 82 temples. He established a secure food supply for the city by taking over personal control of the new province of Egypt which was the "breakbasket" of the Mediterranean, thus eliminating the threat of fammine that at times, plagued Rome.
