Augustus wanted to become an absolute ruler, which would mean the end of the Roman Republic as this made him an emperor. The aim of the establishment of the Republic several centuries earlier was to prevent any man for concentrating power in his hands to prevent the return of tyranny. The republic was established when the Romans rebelled against the last king of Rome (Tarquinius Superbus) who was a tyrant. The Romans decided to do away with the monarchy for the mentioned purpose. Augustus learnt from the mistake of Julius Caesar, who was assassinated because he gave the impression what he wanted to become a king. Augustus knew that he had to be very careful if he wanted to achieve personal power and avoid Caesar's fate.

Were Octavius Augustus and Caesar Augustus the same person?

Romans had three basic names - a personal name, a family name and a definitive name. Caesar for example was Gaius (personal name) Julius (family name) Caesar (meaning fine head of hair - a joke as he was bald). Gaius was a very common personal name. The person in question was born Gaius (personal name) Octavius (family name) Thurinus. When adopted by great-uncle Caesar he took his family name but retained his own family name as a definitive one, and became Gaius Julius Octavianus; he subsequently took the deified Caesar's definative name Caesar too. And on assuming his role as First Citizen in 27 BCE he looked for a useful title, and settled on the non-specific but high-sounding one of Augustus. So yes, his personal name was Gaius, and his title was Augustus.
