Octavian, later known as Augustus, was given numerous titles to signify his authority and the consolidation of power after the fall of the Roman Republic. These titles, such as "Princeps" and "Imperator," emphasized his role as the leading figure in Rome and his military command. However, he was not given the title of "king," as this was associated with tyranny and was deeply unpopular among Romans who valued their republican heritage. Instead, he presented himself as a restorer of the Republic, maintaining the illusion of traditional governance while holding ultimate power.

What did Augustus refer to himself as?

Augustus was an honorary title of the emperors. It meant roughly 'the venerable one. It was given to Octavian when he became the first Roman emperor after the fall of the Roman Republic. Octavian had already changed his name to Imperator Caesar Divi Filius (the winner, son of Caesar) because he was the adoptive son of Julius Caesar. When he was given the title of Augustus he added it to his name, which became Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus. The title of Augustus was then given to all successive emperors. Historians use Augustus as a name for Octavian when they write about the period when he was the emperor.

Who was renamed Augustus?

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.


Who co-ruled rome with octavian?

No one actually co-ruled with Octavian. After Caesar's murder the senate was nominally in control. During the triumvirate, the area that Rome was in was ruled by Octavian alone, with the senate assenting to whatever Octavian wanted, and after the civil war with Antony, Octavian had all the power and ruled alone. During the principate, Octavian gave lip service to the traditions of the republic by having consuls with himself, but he held and kept all the power. The closest he came to having a co-ruler was when he granted Marcus Agrippa supreme powers in the east.
