Why did the senate willingly give up this power to Augustus?
The only thing that the senate could even remotely hope to gain was the favor of Augustus. At the time when Octavian/Augustus took over, it was the one who had the military backing who had the power and Augustus had about 44 legions behind him. Then too, the senate at the time of Augustus was nothing more than a fawning, boot licking bunch of self-serving men. Previously they had given so much power and honors to Julius Caesar that they got him killed. Octavian/Augustus having both the military and popular backing could simply have chosen to take over so to speak, but chose instead, to introduce a smooth transition from republic to principate, giving the senate acknowledgement, but in reality holding the power that he won.The only thing that the senate could even remotely hope to gain was the favor of Augustus.
