What kind of ruler Augustus Caesar?

Answer 1

He was a clever one. He avoided taking absolute power (which had brought down Julius Caesar), sharing it with the Senators to keep them happy, but keeping overall by assuming background powers of Tribune of the Plebs at home, and pro-consul overseas, plus controlling the border provinces which was where the army was.

He called himself Augustus, which avoided the accusation of kingship and Dictatorship, and used the old fashioned office of Princeps - first citizen. A careful camouflage which lasted for 200 years. He set about stabilising Rome's empire and improving the security and prosperity of the people. The title Emperor did not exist (other than the word Imperator - an acclamation reserved for a successful general on a battlefield) which we later came to use for absolute rulers of empires.

Answer 2

• He granted Roman citizenship to many people in the provinces.
• He expanded the senate, adding friends and supporters from Italy and the provinces.
• Caesar helped the poor by creating jobs, especially through the construction of new public buildings.
• He started colonies where the landless could own land and increased pay for soldiers.

Answer 4

He ruled alone from 27 BC until his death in 14 AD. Born Gaius Octavius Thurinus, he was adopted.

Born Gaius Octavius Thurinus, he was adopted posthumously by his great-uncle Gaius Julius Caesar in 44 BC via his last will and testament, and between then and 27 BC was officially named Gaius Julius Caesar. In 27 BC the Senate awarded him the honorific Augustus ("the revered one"), and thus consequently he was Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus.

Answer 5

Julius Caesar was a dictator who held supreme authority in the Roman Republic. His word was law. He tried to pass some reforms regarding debt relief and land distribution but was murdered before he could finalize anything significant in these areas.
