Well you have to define what a good ruler is. He was revered as a demi-god for being the first Roman Empire, and he unified Rome from the Second Triumvirate. However, people at the time had much different notions of what a "good" ruler was than what we do today. After defeating Mark Antony, it is likely he wanted to use Cleopatra (who had an affair with Julius Caesar, Octavian's adopted father) as a centerpiece in his victory Triumph, then kill her, as was the custom. He also ordered the death of Caesarion, Cleopatra's son with Julius Caesar, which I guess you could say would make him a step-brother (sort of). Would you kill your father's illegitimate son?
