Emperor Augustus proclaimed himself to be the "son of God" in a figurative sense, as he was often associated with divine favor and authority. This title was used to elevate his status and legitimize his rule after the chaos of the Roman Republic. However, Augustus also adopted the title of "Divi Filius," meaning "Son of the Divine," following the deification of his adoptive father, Julius Caesar, which further solidified his connection to the divine in Roman culture.
