There was not a founder of the Roman Empire. This empire developed during the Roman Republic in several phases and involved many different people. The expansion into central and southern Italy occurred as a result of the Three Samnite Wars (343-341 BC, 326-304 BC, and 298-290 BC) against the Samnites, a people who lived to the south of Rome, and the Phyrric War (280-275 BC) against Phyrrus, a Greek king who tired to invade southern Italy. The expansion into the Western basin of the Mediterranean was a result of the Three Punic Wars (264-241 BC, 218-201 BC and 149-146 BC) against Carthage. The expansion into the eastern basin of the Mediterranean was the result of the annexation of mainland Greece in 146 BC which was aimed at stopping wars between Greek states and stopping rebellions there. and the Three Mirthidatic Wars (88-84 BC, 83-81 BC and 73-63 BC) against Mithridates VI of Pontus (in northeastern Turkey) who wanted to expand into Turkey and Greece.
What Augustus started in 27 BC was the rule by emperors which followed the fall of the Roman Empire. Terms used by historians can be confusing. They often use the term Roman Empire to refer to this period of rule by emperors as well as in the sense of the territories conquered by Rome. However, there was a Roman Empire before the period of rule by emperors. In fact, much of Rome's territorial expansion occurred during the Republic.
