Introduction
The Background
To understand Augustus, it is necessary to appreciate briefly the nature of the Roman Revolution and, in particular, the place of Julius Caesar within it. The Roman Republic had no written constitution but was, rather, a system of agreed-upon procedures crystallized by tradition (the mos maiorum ca . 100 BC onwards. These generals also used their provincial commands to extract money from the locals as a way of funding their domestic political ambitions. As the conflict in the state wore on, popular assemblies, the only avenue for the passage of binding legislation in the Roman Republic, routinely ended in disorder and rioting. The senatorial aristocracy, riven by internal disputes, proved incapable of dealing effectively with the mounting disorder, yet the alternative, monarchy, was not openly proposed by anyone. When civil war erupted between Pompey and Caesar in 49 BC, few could have been surprised. These two men were the strongest personalities in the state, each in command of significant military forces, and they were mutually antagonistic. The people had loved Caesar, even if his recent behavior had been disappointing

He encouraged the soldiers to retire from the army by providing them with land. Once the soldiers retired, Octavian did not have to be concerned with the army turning on him. Further, Octavian knew he could count on the soldiers' support if he was challenged by the Senate. Octavian restored peace and order to Rome. He made sure the lands throughout the empire were well run and taxes were fair. Octavian built massive roads and bridges, government buildings, and huge public baths. He said, "I left Rome a city of marble, though I found it a city of bricks." The Roman people awarded Octavian with the title Augustus, which means, "respected one." Many Romans deified Augustus after his death. This means they worshipped him as a god.

10. Caesar Augustus: A Who2 Profile
caesar augustus • Emperor of Rome. In 27 BCE the Roman Senate added to his adopted name of Caesar the title Augustus (meaning divine or majestic ).
http://www.who2.com/caesaraugustus.html
CAESAR AUGUSTUS Emperor of Rome Name at birth: Gaius Octavius The greatest ruler of Rome, Caesar Augustus was a conundrum: a ruthless politician and soldier who used his power to restore order and prosperity to Rome with such success that his reign (27 B.C.E. to 14 A.D.) became known as the Augustan Age. Born Gaius Octavius, he was named as the adopted heir of his great uncle Julius Caesar in Caesar's will. (At this point Octavius changed his name to Julius Caesar Octavianus; in his own era he was called Caesar, though in modern accounts he is usually called Octavian for clarity.) After the murder of Caesar in 44 B.C.E., Octavian formed an uneasy alliance with Julius Caesar's fellow soldier Marc Antony and the general Marcus Lepidus, an alliance known as the Second Triumvirate. The three spent several years conquering their common enemies, but Octavian and Antony finally turned on one another after Antony formed a political (and romantic) alliance with the Egyptian queen Cleopatra . Octavian defeated the combined forces of Antony and Cleopatra in the naval battle of Actium (31 B.C.E.) and became the absolute power in Rome. In 27 B.C.E. the Roman Senate added to his adopted name of Caesar the title Augustus (meaning "divine" or "majestic"). As emperor he expanded the borders of Rome and took a particular interest in civic and cultural affairs, building temples and theaters, improving aqueducts and supporting poets and historians like Virgil and Ovid . Augustus died in 14 A.D. and was replaced by his stepson

Caesar Augustus
Octavian, later known as Caesar Augustus, is only mentioned once in The Bible , when he ordered that a census be taken of the Roman world (see Ancient Empires - Rome ). That census caused the birth of Jesus Christ to occur in Bethlehem, exactly as prophesied (e.g. Micah 5:2), rather than in Nazareth where Joseph and Mary were then living. "In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee , from the city of Nazareth , to Judea , to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem , because he was of the house and lineage of David [see also The Chosen People and Ruth ], to be enrolled with Mary , his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn." (Luke 2:1-7 RSV) Octavian's Rise To Power Octavian, the grand-nephew of Julius Caesar, was born on September 23, 63 B.C. in

Caesar Augustus
For the next few years, Octavian ran everything. The business of the city, of the provinces, the army, finance, foreign affairs he tended to all of it, or he delegated it to hand-picked men. It was a burden he could not carry indefinitely, and in 27 he made a significant change. In the year 27, Octavian sent notice to the Senate that he wished to speak to that body on a matter of grave importance. Before the assembled senators, he spoke of all he had done for Rome, detailing his accomplishments. He spoke also of how hard was the work, and the toll it was taking on him. Saying he was tired, and that he had already done far more for Rome than any other individual citizen, he resigned all his offices. The senators cried out in dismay. They pleaded with him to reconsider, for the good of the state. A spokesman stepped forward to offer a compromise: Octavian would remain consul, but a second consul would be elected annually, as of old, so that he could share the burden. He would remain proconsul over Italy, Spain, Gaul and Syria, but the Senate would take up responsibility for the rest of the provinces. Octavian accepted these terms. A grateful Senate voted him the cognomen Augustus, by which name he is generally known in the history books. We usually call him Octavian until the year 27, and Augustus after that.

And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

Introduction. In the following weeks we will be running into the Roman emperor Augustus under three different names. It is important, therefore, to get these names straight right from the start. Augustus begins life as C. Octavius , a grand-nephew of Julius Caesar. On the latter's death in 44, Octavius is adopted (posthumously) by Caesar in his will and so assumes the name of C. Julius Caesar Octavianus (or, in English, simply Octavian). In 27, Octavian assumes control of the Roman state and adopts the honorific title Augustus . In what follows, then, his name will change according to the historical period under discussion:

The Deeds of the Divine Augustus
Caesar Augustus was the first Roman Emperor. In this document, which he himself composed, he lists the accomplishments for which he wished to be remembered. A copy below of the deeds of the divine Augustus, by which he subjected the whole wide earth to the rule of the Roman people, and of the money which he spent for the state and Roman people, inscribed on two bronze pillars, which are set up in Rome. 1. In my nineteenth year, on my own initiative and at my own expense, I raised an army with which I set free the state, which was oppressed by the domination of a faction. [1] For that reason, the senate enrolled me in its order by laudatory resolutions, when Gaius Pansa and Aulus Hirtius were consuls [43 BC], assigning me the place of a consul in the giving of opinions, and gave me the imperium. With me as propraetor, it ordered me, together with the consuls, to take care lest any detriment befall the state. But the people made me consul in the same year, when the consuls each perished in battle, and they made me a triumvir for the settling of the state. 2. I drove the men who slaughtered my father into exile with a legal order, punishing their crime, and afterwards, when they waged war on the state, I conquered them in two battles. [2]

Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus
(AD 12 - AD 41) Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus was the third son of Germanicus (nephew of Tiberius) and Agrippina the elder and was born at Antium in AD 12. It was during his stay with his parents on the German frontier, when he was between two and four, that his miniature versions of military sandals ( caligae ), caused the soldiers to call him Caligula , 'little sandal'. It was a nickname which remained with him for the rest of his life. When he was in his late teens his mother and elder brothers were arrested and died horribly due to the plotting of the praetorian prefect Sejanus. No doubt the horrendous demise of his closest relatives must have had a profound effect on the young Caligula.
Attempting to rid himself of Gaius, Sejanus, under the belief that he may be a potential successor, went too far and was alas arrested and put to death by orders of emperor Tiberius in AD 31.
In the same year Caligula was invested as a priest.
