Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar are pivotal figures in Roman history, with Julius being the great-uncle and adoptive father of Augustus. Julius Caesar was a military general and statesman who played a key role in the demise of the Roman Republic and was assassinated in 44 BC. Augustus, originally named Octavian, emerged as the first Roman emperor after defeating Julius Caesar's assassins and establishing the principles of imperial rule. Together, they represent the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire, with Augustus solidifying and expanding the changes initiated by Julius.
For decades prior to the rise of Augustus, the Roman Republic had a number of civil wars, internal strife and political instability. The rule of Augustus promised at least some political stability and as he was also the legal son of Julius Caesar and the fact that J. Caesar was deified, Augustus was also an important religious figure as the 'son of a god.'
