Yes, as he was deified after death and during his lifetime received the title "Father of his Country" which was the highest honor a man could be given. All other emperors after him took his family name and were called "Caesar" making it a title as well as a name. Emperors following him all vowed to "rule according to the principles of Augustus" in their inauguration speeches. However despite these later honors, Augustus himself admitted that in his early political days, he sometimes acted illegally and cruelly. But his early actions were forgiven due to the peace, benefits and prosperity his reign brought to the empire.

Czar Nicholas II was the last ruler of the Romanov family dynasty that had ruled the great empire of Russia for over 300 hundred years.
