The title assumed by all Roman emperors was Caesar. Even though it was originally a family name, after the Julio-Claudian dynasty, it became the designation for the leader. Augustus was also an honorary title given to all emperors, but he was referred to as Caesar in his all his official dealings.
Christ lived under two Roman emperors. He was born during the reign of Augustus, and from 14 AD to his death, he lived under the rule of Tiberius.
The ancient Romans had a custom of deifying their emperors after their death. This, by the way, was in contrast to the kingdoms of the eastern part of the empire who worshiped their kings as living gods. The only two women to come to mind that were deified were Livia, the wife of Augustus and Drusilla, the sister of Caligula.

There were two new systems of government in ancient Rome: the Roman Republic which followed by Roman monarchy and the rule by emperors which followed the Republic. The foundations of the Republic were laid by Lucius Junius Brutus and the foundations of rule by emperors were laid by Augustus.
Two of the most famous emperors who tried to protect and secure the empire's boundaries were Augustus and Hadrian.
Nero is one of the Roman emperors who is given a bad rap. He is blamed for the Great Fire of Rome, blamed for killing his mother, blamed for killing his wife, blamed for killing several aristocrats, blamed for persecuting the Christians, blamed for extravagance, blamed for vices, and blamed for bankrupting the treasury. However a careful study of his reign will prove otherwise on almost all the above points. As for the Fire of Rome, there is no proof that Nero started it, in fact he was not even in Rome at the time, he was at Antium some distance away. When he heard of the fire he rushed back to try to oversee things. Yes, he did kill his mother, but she was ready to do the same to him. As far as murdering his wife, we don't know the actual reason. As far as murdering the aristocrats, they were all involved in plots against him. His main "vice" according to the ancient writers, was his appearance on the stage and his appearances as a chariot driver. To the aristocrats, this was shocking and appalling. He did not "persecute" the Christians, he prosecuted them for arson. Nero today is remembered for his "dark side", but very little attention is paid to the beneficial side of his reign.
Octavian/Augustus and all the emperors that followed him became absolute rulers of Rome. Julius Caesar was given absolute power, but he never had a chance to fulfill his ambitions.Octavian/Augustus and all the emperors that followed him became absolute rulers of Rome.

After removal of the kings, leadership from the 5th Century BCE onwards devolved to two Consuls elected annually. After the civil wars which led to the Augustus settlement (27 BCE) he and his successors became first citizen, and dominated the political process, although the consuls remained. The successors became more like emperors, and took the title of Caesar after the deified Julius, whom Augustus claimed as his father.
It is not clear what you mean by an adopted system of rulers. If you mean a system where the incumbent emperor adopted his successor, the Romans did not have such a system. After emerging as the winner of the civil wars which brought down the Roman Republic, Augustus established his own absolute rule and started the 503-year period of rule by emperors which followed the republic. He did not establish any systems or rules regarding the succession of emperors and the Romans subsequently never devised one. Augustus, seemed to favour the two sons of his most important ally, Agrippa, by adopting them. However, he did not designate them as heirs. When they died he adopted Tiberius, the surviving son his wife Livia had from her previous marriage. However, he did not designate him as a heir either. Tiberius was proclaimed emperor after Augustus' death. Augustus was reluctant to designate a heir for fear of political opposition to his rule. The next few emperors were selected from the family of Augustus (the Julians) and of Livia (the Claudians). Following this the Julio-Claudian dynasty (5 emperors) there was a brief rule by the Flavian dynasty (3 emperors). It was only with the Nerva--Antonine dynasty that the successors were adoptive sons (Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius). Marcus Aurelius, however, was succeeded by his natural son, Commodus.
Far more than two Roman people were deified after their deaths: 45 Romans were deified. Julius Caesar was the first person who was deified. After that it was quite common to deify dead emperors: 34 emperors were deified. In addition to this, two usurper emperors (Piso Frugi and Victorinus) and two wives of emperors were deified: Livia (Augustus's wife) and Faustina (Antoninus Pius' wife). Hadrian deified his lover, Antinous, after his premature death. The emperor Domitian deified his son, whose name is unknown. The emperors who were deified were: Augustus, Claudius, Titus, Nerva, Trajan, Antoninus Pius, Hadrian, Lucius Verus, Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, Pertinax, Septimius Severus, Caracalla, Alexander Severus, Geta, Caracalla, Gordian I, Gordian II, Gordian III, Phillip the Arab, Philip II, Decius, Herennius Etruscus, Valerian, Gallienus, Claudius II ( Gothicus), Aurelian, Marcus Aurelius Probus, Carus, Numerian, Diocletian, Maximian, Galerius, Constantius I (Chlorus).
