Who was the roman emperor when jesus died?

Answer 1

Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus, popularly known as Augustus Caesar, was the founder and first Emperor of the Roman Empire. He ruled from 27 BC until his death in 14 AD, which would make him Emperor during the time of the birth of Jesus Christ (around 4 BC).

Augustus Caesar was succeeded by his stepson, Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus, popularly known simply as Tiberius Caesar. He was born in 42 BC and ruled as Emperor of Rome for 23 years, from 14 AD to 37 AD. This would make Tiberius Caesar the ruling Emperor during the time of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ (around 30 AD).

Answer 2

Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, ruled Rome from 27 BC until his death in 14 AD.

He was great nephew of Gaius Julius Ceasar, the "dictator perpetuo" killed on the Ides of March in 44 BC. Caesar's will stipulated his posthumous adoption of Augustus.

Augustus was succeeded by his adoptive son (and step-son, and husband of his daughter), Tiberius, who remained emperor until 37 AD.

The gospels say that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod the Great, who ruled in Jerusalem from 37 to 4 BCE. The first Roman emperor, Augustus, would have been the emperor mentioned in Luke's Gospel. He ruled from 31 BCE to 14 CE and from 27 BCE to 14 CE he was the first Roman emperor.

This emperor gave himself the name of Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus. His original name was Gaius Octavius. He gave himself the name Gaiius Julius Caesar Divi Filus (Son of the Divine Gaius Julius Caesar) after he was adopted by Julius Caesar for Propaganda purposes as Caesar had been very popular. He then changed it to Imperator Caesar Divi Filius. Imperator meant winner in battle and he used this to emphasise his victories in the civil wars he fought. When he became the emperor the title of Augustus (the venerable one) was added to his name. Historians use the name Augustus to indicate the period when he was the emperor. It became a custom give to Roman emperors the title of Augustus and to also refer to them as Caesars. Under the emperors Diocletian and Constantine, during the Later Roman Empire, Augustus became a title for senior emperors and Caesar for Junior emperors.
