Why was Augusta the most able emperor of rome?
Augustus managed to be not only the first Emperor, surviving civil war, but he also was one of the longest ruling. While wielding nearly total power, Augustus was careful to at least pretend he was not actually the sole ruler of the Empire. He cloaked his actions by paying token respect to the senate, having them legally give him his powers. He also took title such as "First Citizen" to emphasize he was merely a Roman citizen, albeit one of higher than normal ranking. But his greatest claim as "ablest of the Emperors of Rome" would be in how he managed to maintain peace through the Empire, quelling civil war, encouraging public works, and running a fiscally sensible policy that left the Treasury with a significant surplus. And he did it while not neglecting his own public image, ensuring most of the Roman populace would look on him with not only respect, but genuine affection, even love.

When did rome move from polytheism to monotheism?
It was when the emperor Constantine converted to Christianity. He had actually been a pagan before. In a battle, he saw in the sky the Greek symbol for Christ. Then, he heard Christ say, "In My name, conquer." Right after that, he told all his soldiers to paint the symbol on their shields, and they won the battle. Constantine became a Christian, declared it the official religion of the Roman empire, and called for churches to be built all over the empire.
How did the emperors take over Rome?
Near the end of the Roman Republic, the First Triumvirate was established, consisting of Caesar, Crassus, and Magnus. This did not have any power; it was simply the most powerful men of the time. Julius Caesar was appointed consul, but was also a powerful general, and eventually removed the other men nearing his power and seized control of the republic, being named dictator. This was not the end yet, however, as the senators assassinated him, and the Republic survived. Some time after his death, the Second Triumvirate was established, with Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus. This Triumvirate had the power to do whatever it pleased; Octavian eventually declared war on and defeated Antony, and Lepidus was left in the shadows. Octavian, adopted nephew of Julius Caesar, renamed himself Augustus Caesar and became the first emperor. From this point, the empirical rule was either handed down by kinship or taken by force.
When did Mark Antony become emperor?
Mark Antony never became emperor, as we use the term today. The title "imperator" originally was an honor bestowed on military commanders by the legions after great victories. Many Roman generals were declared imperator by troops, including Mark Antony who ruled as a member of a triumvirate that included Octavian (Ceasar's adopted son and heir) but they had a falling out and later led opposing factions in a civil war. Antony committed suicide after his defeat by Octavian, who cooped the name imperator (from which our emperor derives) as a substitute for king which had negative connotations for the Roman people. Roman dictators served for a set period of years and the office was not hereditary; thus, that office did not suite the purposes of Octavian (later known as Augustus). He had the Roman senate declare him emperor with all the powers of a king, eventually including the hereditary right to pass on his office to his chosen heir. Antony never held sole power equivalent to a king as did Augustus.
