HomeAugustus
Augustus is considered the first emperor of the Roman Empire, which he ruled alone from 27 BC until his death in 14 AD. Born Gaius Octavius Thurinus, he was adopted posthumously by his great-uncle Gaius Julius Caesar in 44 BC via his last will and testament, and between then and 27 BC was officially named Gaius Julius Caesar. In 27 BC the Senate awarded him the honorific Augustus ("the revered one"), and thus consequently he was Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus.

Is Augustus and Gaius the same person?
- 1 answer
Romans had three basic names - a personal name, a family name and a definitive name. Caesar for example was Gaius (personal name) Julius (family name) Caesar (meaning fine head of hair - a joke as he was bald). Gaius was a very common personal name. The person in question was born Gaius (personal name) Octavius (family name) Thurinus. When adopted by great-uncle Caesar he took his family name but retained his own family name as a definitive one, and became Gaius Julius Octavianus; he subsequently took the deified Caesar's definative name Caesar too. And on assuming his role as First Citizen in 27 BCE he looked for a useful title, and settled on the non-specific but high-sounding one of Augustus. So yes, his personal name was Gaius, and his title was Augustus.

Did Augustus try to call himself the king of Rome?
- 2 answers
No. Never. Calling oneself a king in ancient Rome was a very risky business considering the feelings of the Roman people about kings. Augustus always referred to himself as the "first citizen" or in Latin, "princeps" from which we get the term for the rule of the emperors which is the principate.

Did Augustus Caesar create anything useful or unique?
- 1 answer
Yes, he created a form of government that lasted from 31 BC to 1453 AD. This long period of time was due to the survival of the Roman Empire in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The capital of the eastern empire was Constantinople later called Byzantium and gave birth to the Byzantine Empire. The capital was strategically located between the Black Sea And the Mediterranean Sea. It was not until 1453 that the Turks overran this city and ended the Byzantium Empire.
Augustus, made changes however, during his reign that was a policy decision resulting in what is now referred to as the Pax Romana. This began directly after Augustus had full control of the Empire. The main part of the Pax Romana was the significant reduction in the size of the Roman military. Rather than bring up armies to resolve problems in or near the boundaries of the Empire, Augustus used diplomacy rather then force to settle problems. The expansion of the Empire was subdued. Later necessary military actions had to be taken in Dacia and Britain. Augustus improved public works within the Empire as well.
What is Augustus Caesar personality?
- 1 answer
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.

Did roman women choose who to marry?
- 2 answers
The answer to your question is another of those "yes and no" answers. The parents of a girl would pick out a potential groom, or even a list of potential grooms. The girl would have to give her consent. However, in the Roman culture, children were brought up to respect the wishes of their parents, so the girl would nearly always consent to the man her parents suggested for her husband. However there were times when a woman/girl would pick out her own husband and her parents would go along with it. Remember, Roman marriages were not just the uniting of a man and wife, but the uniting of entire families, especially in the upper classes, so this factor had a bearing upon the choices a woman had for a husband.

Who was Octavian?
- 1 answer
Augustus: 63 BCE - 14), known as Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (the 'us' on the end of Octavian indicated that his father died before his birth). He was nominated as his heir by the assassinated Julius Caesar who had adopted him. After Caesar's death he joined in a triumvirate with Marc Antony and Lepidus to control the Roman Republic during the ensuing civil war with Caesar's murderers including Cassius and Brutus. After their defeat he shared control of the Roan empire with the other two until war broke out again and he defeated Antony and Cleopatra.
He 'restprted the Republic' but, to avoid the prospect of other generals conteting for power which had plagued Rome for the past century, he established mechanisms to give himself over-riging control. This was based on taking for life the powers (not office) of a tribune of the plebs (immunity, veto and introducing legislation) and the powers of procosulship outside Rome; he left control of the settled provinces to the Senate, but took control of the unsettled ones, which is where the legions were so he had control of the army.
This fix preserved the outward form of the Roman Republic, but left him in overall control without the crude measure of being Dictator which had brought Julius Caeasar undone. He thus ruled as an autocrat for 41 years, longer than any subsequent ruler; and his rule is the dividing line between what we now call the Republic and the Principate (he took the title of princeps - First Citizen - any suggestion or being a king or emperor would bring out the knives which felled Julius Caesar). The word Emperor is a modern one - it comes from 'imperator' which is what general were called on the battlefield after a victory. I came into use to describe a ruler much later.
He ended a century of civil wars and set about limitinh and stabilising Rome's borders, opening an era of relative peace, prosperity, and imperial greatness, known as the Pax Romana, or Roman peace, which lasted for over 200 years

Was Augustus a succesful ruler?
- 2 answers
Yes, Augustus was a highly successful ruler. He not only reformed the government and rebuilt the city, but he had the good fortune to have a long reign which enabled the populace to become accustomed to the principate form of government. Although there were plots against him, as there were with all other emperors, there is little reason to believe that any conspirators wanted to restore the republic---they wanted power for themselves.
