Why did Augustus refuse to be crowned emperor?
If the word "emperor" were part of the Roman vocabulary, Augustus would have refused it because it's meaning was too close to the meaning of king. During his reign, Octavian was known also as First Citizen and later added Caesar. He took the neutral title Augustus to avoid any suggestion of kingship - it was Julius Caesar's taking the Dictatorship-for-life which brought out the knives, so Octavian and his successors stayed well away from any absolute ruler title.
Incidentally, the term emperor was never used in Roman times. It is a word/title that we use today. The closest thing to the word that the Romans had was the title "imperator" which was an honorific voted by a general's troops after a victory.

- the opinion of the material desires and whimsical pride of Caesar created in the reader's mind by brutus and Cassius is soon changed when the old hags(next to casca) appreciate his modesty
- also Caesar is projected as weak by Cassius earlier in the scene when he mentions about the swimmimng match and his sickness but Caesar's quick reaction after recovering lets the readers belive he has a nack of convincing people and ashrewd gift of gab
