He subjected the whole wide earth to the rule of the Roman people The Deeds of the Divine Augustus Emperor Augustus of Rome was born with the given name Gaius Octavius on September 23, 63 B.C. He took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Octavian) in 44 B.C. after the murder of his great uncle, Julius Caesar . In his will Caesar had adopted Octavian and made him his heir. Octavian was a shrewd, brilliant and astute politician. Through cold, hard political calculation he was able to achieve ultimate power in Rome. At the time of Caesar's assassination, Octavian held no official position. Only after he marched on Rome and forced the senate to name him consul, was he established as a power to be reckoned with. In 43 B.C., Octavian, Marcus Antonius ( Marc Antony Marcus Lepidus , formed the second Triumvirate to rule Rome. After taking power, the Triumvirate proscribed and slaughtered thousands of political enemies, firmly establishing their control of the Roman government. In 40 B.C., Antony married Octavia, Octavian's sister, and later deserted her for

Royalty.nu World Royalty Europe Italy ... Ancient Rome > Augustus > Books About Augustus Search Augustus Caesar The Dictator's Heir In 44 BC, a sickly 18-year-old boy named Gaius Octavius received two shocking pieces of news. Number one: His grandmother's brother, the Roman dictator Julius Caesar , had been murdered. Number two: In his will, Caesar had named young Octavius as his heir. It was dangerous for anyone, much less an inexperienced boy, to try to step into the dictator's shoes, but against the advice of his family Octavius boldly went to Rome to claim his inheritance. He met opposition from the powerful politician Mark Antony, who had seized Caesar's money and papers and was claiming that he was Caesar's heir and successor. Nonetheless, Octavius took the name Gaius Julius Caesar, quickly won the allegiance of many of his great-uncle Julius's supporters, and assumed a role in government. (Historians usually refer to him as "Octavian" in the early part of his career, short for Octavianus, although he did not use this name himself.) At first Octavian worked with Mark Antony; in fact, Antony even married Octavian's sister, Octavia. But eventually the ambitious Antony joined forces with the ruler of Egypt

5. Lecture 12: Augustus Caesar And The Pax Romana a lecture describing the Roman Empire under Augustus down to the reforms of Constantine the Great. http://www.historyguide.org/ancient/lecture12b.html

Lecture 12 Augustus Caesar and the Pax Romana On the morning of March 15, 44 B.C., JULIUS CAESAR was assassinated by several members of the Roman Senate. This was just one month after he had declared himself dictator of the Roman world. In the wake of his death, three men moved forward to form a new triumvirate which would punish Caesar's assassins and then divide up the Roman world. The members of this triumvirate consisted of Marc Antony (consul), Lepidus (high official), and Octavian (the grand nephew of Caesar). Up to the year 37 B.C., there was relative peace in the Roman world. Brutus and Cassius were defeated in the Battle of Philippi (42 B.C.) and Cicero, perhaps the greatest thinker in the Roman world, had his hands and head cut off and placed in public display in the Forum. These three men headed a republican faction against Caesar for the simple reason that Caesar had claimed absolute power for himself. But in 37 B.C., stability appeared to disintegrate. Antony had married Octavian's sister but had also formed some sort of marriage contract with Cleopatra . In 31 B.C., Antony and Cleopatra's navy was beaten by Octavian's forces at Actium. Antony fled to Alexandria where Octavian eventually followed. Antony committed suicide while Cleopatra took the asp.

Octavian Memorial This man prevented Cleopatra VII from fulfilling her mission About Octavian Links Images Books Augustus (63 BC-AD 14), first emperor of Rome (27 BC-AD 14), who restored unity and orderly government to the realm after nearly a century of civil wars. He presided over an era of peace, prosperity, and cultural achievement known as the Augustan Age. Originally named Gaius Octavius, Augustus was born in Rome on September 23, 63 BC; he was the grandnephew of Julius Caesar, whom he succeeded as ruler of the Roman state. Caesar was fond of the youth and had him raised to the College of Pontifices—a major Roman priesthood—at the age of 16. When Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, Octavius was in Illyria, where he had been sent to serve; returning to Italy, he learned that he was Caesar's adopted heir. He consequently took the name Gaius Julius Caesar, to which historians have added Octavianus; in English, the name is usually shortened to Octavian. The Second Triumvirate Caesar's assassination plunged Rome into turmoil. Octavian, determined to avenge his adoptive father and secure his own place, vied with Mark Antony, Caesar's ambitious colleague, for power and honor. After some preliminary skirmishes, both political and military, during which Antony was driven across the Alps while Octavian was made senator and then consul, Octavian recognized the necessity of making peace with his rival. In late 43 BC, therefore, the two—joined by Antony's ally, the general Marcus Aemilius Lepidus—met and formed the Second Triumvirate to rule the Roman domains. The alliance was sealed by a massive proscription, in which 300 senators and 200 knights—the triumvirs' enemies—were slain. Among those killed was the aging orator Cicero.

Augustus Caesar Dynasty XXXII 63 B.C.E. - 14 C.E. Octavian Augustus is known as the first, and one of the greatest, Roman Emperors ever. Octavian enabled the long, peaceful time of the Pax Romana by changing Rome from a fragile, crumbling republican government to a mighty empire. Octavian was born on September 23, 63 B.C.E. His great-uncle was Julius Caesar and, therefore, he had many political connections in Rome. Caesar favored Octavian from an early age. In 48 B.C.E., Caesar had his fifteen-year-old great nephew elected to the priestly college of the pontifices, and he also enrolled him in the hereditary patrician aristocracy of Rome. Octavian joined Caesar in 46 B.C.E. on a campaign against Pompey Cleopatra and Antony. Octavian defeated his foes at the naval battle of Actium and became sole ruler of Rome. In 27 B.C.E., Octavian made a bold and clever political move by declaring the Republican Government restored. He immediately offered to resign from the position of consul, but the Senate, instead of accepting his offer, decided to give him the position of princeps. The Senate also gave him the name Augustus, meaning "revered one". The Senate decided to give Octavian control of the provinces of Gaul, Syria, Spain and Egypt. These areas had large numbers of troops stationed within their borders giving Octavian almost total military authority. While the household managed the daily affairs of the empire, Octavian made it his duty to beautify the city. He once said that he had found the city in brick, and left it in marble. Octavian reformed the tax system by taking a census to determine how much each province should pay in taxes. He held strong beliefs in traditional Roman religion. He restored over 80 temples and passed strict moral laws that mirrored older Roman values. When Octavian died in C.E. 14, his achievements seemed remarkable, and they would only become more remarkable as time passed. Octavian had adopted his stepson Tiberius and made it clear he would be his successor.

Julius Caesar People Augustus Rise to Power Augustus, a fascinating and controversial man, may have been the most important figure in Roman history. Through his long life (63 B.C. - A.D. 14) and deeds, the failing Republic was converted to a Principate that endured for centuries. The Name of Augustus Before he was assassinated, Julius Caesar named his grand-nephew Octavius as heir, but Octavius did not know of it until Caesar's death. He then took the name C. Julius Caesar Octavianus or Octavian (or simply Caesar), which he kept until he was named Imperator Caesar Augustus on January 16, 17 B.C. Rise From Obscurity Being the adopted son of the great man meant little politically at first. Brutus and Cassius, the men who headed the faction that had killed Julius Caesar were still in power, as was Caesar's friend Antony. Cicero's support of Octavian led to the repudiation of Antony and ultimately, to Octavian's acceptance in Rome.

13. Princeps: The Life Of Caesar Augustus A comprehensive biography of Gaius Octavius, later known as augustus caesar, and his world in the first century of the Roman Empire. http://web.mac.com/heraklia/Augustus/

PRINCEPS: The Life of Caesar Augustus PRINCEP: The Life of Caesar Augustus The weather in mid-April in Apollonia was windy and wet. In that early spring of 44 BC, a slender 18-year-old man stood on the coast, looking due west across the Adriatic towards Italy. The letter he had just received from his stepfather and mother concerned the sudden death of an older relative. The decision he would reach because of it would changehistory and lead to the creation of Rome of the Caesars. The young Roman was Gaius Octavius, great-grand-nephew of Rome's supreme dictator, Gaius Julius Caesar. What he held in his hands was the news of the Ides of March. His mother, Atia (daughter of Caesar's sister, Julia) may have grieved for her uncle, but family advice was clear: even with the rumors that that Caesar had made Octavius his principal heir (and Caesar's wealth was incalculable), it was far too dangerous for Octavius to claim it. Rome was in turmoil; the assassination of Caesar by more than 40 senators had left the capital in a rage of fear and uncertainty. Marc Antony, remaining Consul, was busy consolidating his hold on Rome. A generation older than Octavius and, next to Caesar, the best general in Rome's legions, he could crush an unknown provincial like a gnat - or so said the voice of parental fear. This is the story of how an unknown youth with no military skills and no political experience wrested control of the greatest empire of the ancient world into his hands, remade it in his own image - and changed the world.

Z Augustus Caesar Biography Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus Augustus (23 September 63 BC - 19 August AD 14), known earlier in his life as Octavian, was the first Roman Emperor. Although he preserved the outward form of the Roman Republic, he ruled as an autocrat for more than 40 years. He ended a century of civil wars and gave Rome an era of peace, prosperity, and imperial greatness. He is generally known to historians by the title "Augustus" (revered one), which he acquired in 27 BC. Augustus was born at Rome with the name Gaius Octavius Thurinus. His father, also Gaius Octavius, came from a respectable but undistinguished family of the equestrian order and was governor of Macedonia before his death in 58 BC. More importantly, his mother Atia was the niece of Rome's greatest soldier and de facto ruler, Julius Caesar. In 46 BC Caesar, who had no legitimate children, took his grand-nephew soldiering in Spain, and adopted him as his heir (see also adoption in Rome). He then took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. When Caesar was assassinated in March 44 BC, his young heir was with the army at Apollonia, in what is now Albania. He crossed over to Italy and recruited an army from among Caesar's veterans. At Rome, he found Caesar's republican assassins, Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius, in control. After a tense standoff, he formed an uneasy alliance with Marcus Antonius and Marcus Lepidus, Caesar's principal colleagues. The three formed a junta called the Second Triumvirate, and launched a purge of those allied with the assassins.
