Augustus

Augustus did not do much to change Roman entertainment. Chariot races had been an entertainment since the early days of Rome. New games for religious festivals had been introduced in the Late Republic. Roman theatre started to develop from the 3rd century BC. Julius Caesar had already introduced the greatest innovation in Roman entertainment; the switching of the gladiatorial combats from private funerary rituals to public games.

What Augustus did was to revive games of archaic religious festivals which had decayed. He also resumed the Secular Games (originally they were called Ludi Terentini and were renamed Ludi Saeculares) which had been suspended during the civil wars. These were three days and nights of sacrifices and theatrical performances, to mark the end of a saeculum and the beginning of the next. A saeculum is a length of time roughly equal to the potential lifetime of a person or the equivalent of the complete renewal of a human population. During the reign of Augustus, tit was set at 110 years

Julius Caesar did not plan to build a huge basilica to the Basilica Sempronia. He demolished the Basilica Sempronia (which was named after Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, who built it in 169 BC). He replaced it with the Basilica Juliua. It was not built by Augustus instead. Caesar undertook the project in 54 BC (ten year before his assassination). He carried out most of the construction work himself and inaugurated in 46 BC. The construction was not complete. What Augustus did, was the completion of the work.

Yes and no. It was expected on the basis of his age. He was about 77 when he died and had never been in robust health. It was unexpected at the time when he died. He was on a sea trip, feeling fine, when he caught a chill, but continued with his public appearances even though growing worse. He finally died at the town of Nola.

In his last testament, Augustus aims to project an image of a benevolent and responsible leader who prioritizes the welfare of the Roman state over personal ambition. He emphasizes his role in restoring peace and stability after years of civil strife, portraying himself as a protector of traditional Roman values. By highlighting his accomplishments and the legitimacy of his lineage, Augustus seeks to ensure a smooth transition of power and secure his legacy as a revered figure in Roman history.

There was only one major military defeat under the rule of Augustus. That was the Teutoburg disaster led by the traitor Arminius, in which three entire legions were wiped out.

He left the tactics to his admirals and generals.

In reality, Caesar Augustus was the supreme ruler of the Roman empire and he reported to no one. Yes he conferred with the Roman senate, however that was just a formality.

The stationed the bulk of the Roman legions in the frontier provinces of the empire.

Tiberius Caesar, Agustus' adopted son, followed him as emperor.

At first allies, then sharing the Empire, it was inevitable that their personal interests would clash and end in an extension of the civil war which had been running off and on for a century. This contest for power could end only in a victory for one.

It was a power-sharing consortium between Augustus and the Senate - the assemblies of the citizens were done away with. The Senate rules, while Augustus pulled strings in the background through his powers of tribune of the plebs, proconsul, and control of the army.

Successful states during Rome's republican period before Rome's expansion into Italy and the Mediterranean were the Etruscan city-states, Carthage, the kingdoms of Macedon and Epirus and various city-states in Greece, the kingdom of Pergamon and Bithynia in western Turkey, the kingdom of Pontus in north-western Turkey, the Greek Seleucid Empire (centred on Syria and which stretched from eastern Turkey to the Indus river in Pakistan and into central Asia and included Judea) and the Ptolemaic kingdom which ruled Egypt, eastern Libya, Cyprus and the eastern part of the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. A successful state which was not conquered by the Romans was the Parthian Empire, the third of the four pre-Islamic Persian empires.

Although Augustus had many military victories, the only country that he conquered was Egypt. All the other areas that he pacified were territories, not countries as we know them today. The borders in ancient times were very different from today's borders. Here are some territories or areas that Augustus conquered in present day terms: the Balkan peninsula, Bulgaria, part of Hungary, part of Romania, all the countries that make up the former Yugoslavia, Switzerland, part of Bavaria, Austria and affairs in Spain, Gaul and Germany.

First of all, bear in mind that the Romans did not choose their emperors-- it was not an elected office. Ideally, an emperor would name someone as his heir in his will and that person would become the new emperor once the old one died (or was killed). However in reality, many emperors did not have valid wills or were assassinated. In cases such a these, the man who had the strongest backing would take the throne. The senate would give its rubber stamp approval and Rome would have a new emperor--at least until the next round of intrigue.

Both Octavian and Julius Caesar wanted a strong central government which could gain control over the provinces and end Rome's political and administrative disarray.

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.

Augustus fought a civil war with Marc Antony over the control of Rome.

The natural disasters played a role in the fall of the roman empire when there was plagues, famines, and earthquakes.

nice question the answer is the gage soldiers

roman rulers were called caesar

It was found in 1863, in Villa of Livia.

Caesar Augustus had a long list of accomplishments. Here are some of them. He rebuilt the infrastructure of the city of Rome. He also rebuilt or refaced the public buildings. He fixed up 82 temples alone. He stabilized the borders and made the Roman army into a national army for the first time. He brought about a period of peace and prosperity for the empire which was known as the Pax Romana. However perhaps the greatest accomplishment of Augustus was the change in government which he engineered.

There is not any official celebration dedicated to Augustus Caesar in today's world but I still celebrate his birthday, though.

He didn't say it to anyone. It was a motto attributed to him by the Roman writer Suetonius.
