They were not cruel and not necessarily bad leaders. Augustus's successor was a reluctant emperor and did not like to get involved in politics. Caligula was the only one who had a reputation for being cruel and this was caused by mental illness. Claudius did many good things for Rome and the empire Nero was eccentric and was subjected to a lot of slander. However, he was not a bad ruler and was loved by the poor.

Was the Emperor Augustus a good guy or a bad guy?

It is difficult to classify historical figures as purely good or bad. Augustus, also known as Octavian, was the first Roman emperor and played a significant role in stabilizing the Roman Empire after a period of civil war. While he had dictatorial tendencies, his rule ushered in a period of relative peace and prosperity known as the Pax Romana.

Where was Augustus Caesar from?

When rising into power he was ruthless - those who had enough wealth and power to oppose and threaten him of his position were murdered. However, after the battle at Actium (in which Augustus defeated the army of Antony and Cleopatra) he put the thuggish, cruel and villainous character to one side and assumed a completely different mask. He made sure to live his life in simple-ness as to show the people of Rome he was not trying to thow over the Republic and assume complete control. He was a master of manipulation and a real genius. He made the people and the senate think they 'needed' him and in fact implored his leadership. Four years after the battle at Actium, Augustus asked to resign from all his powers and shares of provinces. The senates feared that the unclaimed powers would lead to more civil war - in fact they refused his resignation and assigned him more governing power than before. Which is quite obvious it is what he intended. He was also renown for his adultery, even though he set laws and fines for such promiscuity. However it is arguable that he became more responsible after marrying Livia. His own daughter and granddaughter (both named Julia) were exiled to islands for promiscuity. Julia the Elder was not to have wine, luxuries or be visited by men - overall her life was to be uncomfortable. It's really left unto the reader to interpret his personality. It can't exactly be defined as bad as much as it can be defined as good. However for a Roman Emperor he was pretty fair compared to the others that followed.

When was the period of bad emperors?

There was no period of bad emperors as such.
