What did Augustus refer to himself as?

Augustus was an honorary title of the emperors. It meant roughly 'the venerable one. It was given to Octavian when he became the first Roman emperor after the fall of the Roman Republic. Octavian had already changed his name to Imperator Caesar Divi Filius (the winner, son of Caesar) because he was the adoptive son of Julius Caesar. When he was given the title of Augustus he added it to his name, which became Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus. The title of Augustus was then given to all successive emperors. Historians use Augustus as a name for Octavian when they write about the period when he was the emperor.
