Description
Right after Caesar was murdered, Octavian encountered opposition from Mark Antony who wanted take Caesar's place. Octavian quickly made an alliance with Antony to avenge Caesar's murder. After this the two men made an alliance with one of the most powerful generals in the Roman army, and ruled as triumvirs (3 dictators ruling together). The new triumvirs immediately published a list of names who were sentenced to immediate death and who's land was to be seized by the state. This was considered one of the bloodiest actions that ever happened in Rome. In 42, B.C. Octavian and Antony won a victory over Brutus and Cassius, who were two of the murderers of Caesar, and killed them. After this victory, Antony ruled the eastern part of the empire and Augustus went back to Rome. In 40 B.C. Octavian and Antony ended their partnership and by 33 were at war with each other. Antony divorced Octavian's sister (a marriage arranged for political reasons) and married Cleopatra, who was queen of Egypt. However, by September 31 B.C., Octavian defeated Antony and Cleopatra off the coast of Actium (which is off the western coast of modern Greece) leaving Octavian as the undisputed leader of Rome. When he became the new leader of the Roman Empire he refused to be called rex (king) or dictator (dictator), but was eventually given the title Augustus which refers to ``one consecrated by religion". ``Victory in the east, the vindication of his political policies in Italy, and the booty of the Ptolemies gave him an unassailable position, soon expressed in terms of divinity." Augustus wisely did not take too many titles or honors from the Roman senate very quickly because he saw what happened to Caesar when he made this mistake. Instead, he acted as if he was going to bring back the republic that many Romans wanted. Doing this, he gained favor with the senate and the people of Rome. Eventually, they would grant him all the power he wanted without he himself ever having to fight for it. Augustus reigned 44 years from 31 B.C.-A.D. 44 and extended the empire greatly during his rule.

When Augustus Caesar
Source: William Sandys, Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern (London: Richard Beckley, 1833) 1. When Augustus Caesar throughout
All the world had made peace,
He in Jury for his pleasure,
His revenues to increase,
A tax did he set on great and small,
Both men and women to return,
The same to pay without delay,
Unto the town where they were born. 2. When aged Joseph with his Mary,
Caesar's precepts to fulfill,
After many a weary journey
Came to Bethlehem with good will, To pay their due, with obedience too, Unto the prince that they were sworn, Whilst they were there, our Saviour dear, To set us free, that time was born. 3. Blessed Mary, though a Virgin, Yet a wife, and great with child, Weary of her blessed burden, Did intreat with speeches mild In every inn, but could not win A lodging, thus was left forlorn In wofull state with her dear mate, Yet there our Saviour Christ was born. 4. So that at last they were constrained In a stable to be laid, Her humble bed she not refused

The Achievements of Augustus Caesar
May it be my privilege to have the happiness of establishing the commonwealth on a firm and secure basis and thus enjoy the reward which I desire, but only if I may be called the author of the best possible government; and bear with me the hope when I die that the foundations which I have laid for its future government, will stand firm and stable. — Augustus Caesar Legend has it that Alexander the Great at thirty-two had sighed for fresh worlds to conquer. When Augustus learnt of this, he expressed his surprise “that Alexander did not regard the right ordering of the empire he had won a heavier task than winning it” . Unlike Alexander, Augustus took on the heavier task. from http://janusquirinus.org/ Augustus is arguably the most successful ruler ever and his was one of the greatest constructive successes in history. He “found his world, as it seemed, on the verge of complete collapse” . Rome had undergone almost a century worth of civil unrest: assassinations, riots, coups d’etat, and outright civil wars. “He evoked order out of chaos” , “peace was re-established and the madness of armed conflict was assuaged in every quarter” . Some called it a “peace of despotism” because in place of the Roman Republic , Augustus founded the Roman Empire . But even his enemies had to admit that civil war was worse than an illegal monarchy —“They preferred the safety of the present to the dangerous past” from http://janusquirinus.org/

The Achievements of Augustus Caesar
Back to Part I The friends of Julius Caesar, Augustus’ adoptive father, slew Julius “because he aspired to be too great too quickly” , with little consideration for Republican sensitivities. “Augustus died peacefully, in his seventy-seventh year, after wielding for half a lifetime power greater than even Julius can have contemplated” . “Augustus always took his time over decisions if it was possible, and carefully went over his facts again and again. [He] made self-control and patience his unfailing principles” . “Once he had decided that a given task was in his power, he pursued it with steadfast determination. He refused to be discouraged by his mistakes, but tried one key after another until he had fitted the lock” from http://janusquirinus.org/ “His tact served him well in his dealings with the upper classes” and “even those who lost most by the change were soothed into submission without glaring loss of self-respect” . “His patience made it easy for him to attend long and boring meetings of the senate and listen to silly and incompetent speeches ... Only a tactful man like Augustus could succeed in putting the senators in charge of the traffic lights of the empire—with the assurance that green lights would be turned on whenever his carriage was about to go through” from http://janusquirinus.org/

    Augustus' birth coincided with the Senate's famous debate on the Catilinarian conspiracy, and when Octavius arrived late, because of Atia's confinement, Publius Figulus the astrologer, hearing at what hour the child had been delivered, cried out: 'The ruler of the world is now born.' Everyone believes this story. Suetonius
