In 27 BC the Roman senate extended Octavian unprecedented powers and declared him Augustus, this also is interpreted as Emperor and Princips. Princips is translated into "The first among Equals". After the death of Lepidus, Augustus also became Pontifex Maximus and thus head of all religious offices. In Latin I should add that Emperor or General Caesar is son of a god.

Additional Comment:

The title of 'Augustus' and Emperor was given to the Frank King Charlemagne by the then Pope on 25 December 800 AD. Starting with the first Reich of Otto the Great in 962 AD to Napoleon's, the title of 'Romanorum Imperator Augustus' or August Emperor of the Romans was used.
