Augustus won the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic, which was a contest with Marc Antony to decide who would be the sole ruler of Rome and her territories. He established personal rule by the emperors and he was the first roman emperor. Therefore, he revolutionised Rome's institutions and created the new system of rule which characterised the Roman Empire during its last 503 years: the absolute rule of the emperors.

By establishing tight control over the state by a personal ruler, Augustus also ended the instability of the civil wars which brought down the Roman Republic and restored central control over the political process and the provinces (conquered territories). This led to a 200-year period of relative political stability in the Roman Empire which historians have called Pax Romana. This stability also enabled the development of thriving trading networks around the empire and beyond and to prosperity.
