Caesar Augustus
Augustus Caesar Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus Augustus 23 September 63 BC 19 August AD ), 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.

A Decree from Caesar Augustus
Allan White O.P. 25 December 2000
Christmas fr. Allan White preaches torch .op.org's Christmas homily for Midnight Mass. Caesar Augustus issued a decree and set the whole world moving. What power there is in a word. Caesar speaks and everyone is uprooted. They all return to their native place. Caesar's word calls people back to their roots. Caesar has a purpose. He wants the whole world to be numbered. He is counting his people. He wants their money. These people are not named, they are to be numbered. Their stories are not important. Who they are does not matter. What they can provide does. What they represent is an economic resource. A decree from Ceasar. Word comes from Rome. An order comes from the centre of power to the margins, and the whole world moves. Caesar finds himself at the still centre of this turning world. Mary and Joseph move too. They return to David's town because that is where Joseph's family started. David was a shepherd, just like those in tonight's gospel. The Lord took him from the obscurity of minding sheep and placed him at the centre of his people. David built a new city for his God, Jerusalem. It was the centre of every pious Jew's life, for it was there that God dwelt in the midst of his people. David, the marginal character, became the cornerstone of his people. David also had an interest in numbering his people. In chapter twenty-four of the Second Book of Samuel, we are told that he decided to count the people of Israel. His generals and his advisers wanted him against this. The people belonged to God, the land belonged to God, and not to David. The people were instruments of God's purpose, they were not economic units, or chattels to be sent hither and thither and yon by any earthly king.

Caesar Augustus
By Mark Diller
Posted Friday, January 2, 2004 E-mail this page Printer-friendly page
  • Claim to fame – the first Roman emperor and founder of a system of government that profoundly shaped the Western world Strange rumor - that he softened the hairs of his legs by singeing them with red-hot walnut shells Favorite expression - "quicker than boiled asparagus"
Caesar's Heir Caesar Augustus was born Gaius Octavius, son of an up-and-coming family that lived just outside Rome. His father was the first in his family to be elected to the Senate. More importantly, though, Octavius's mother was the niece of Julius Caesar, who was Octavius's patron from the start. If Julius Caesar had killed the republic, Augustus saw to its burial. When Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 B.C., Octavius learned that Caesar had adopted him and made him his chief heir. He assumed the name Gaius Julius Caesar OctavianusOctavian, for short. Yet accepting this inheritance was a dangerous move, for it made him a potential target of the conspirators who had killed his great-uncle. It also made him the rival of Mark Antony, Caesar's old lieutenant, who had expected that he would be Caesar's heir and who had seized all of the late dictator's assets.

80. History Of Christmas: Caesar Augustus
caesar augustus Perhaps it is fitting that our last article on the History behind Christmas should be about the first person mentioned in St.
http://www.billpetro.com/HolidayHistory/hol/xmas/augustus2.html
CAESAR AUGUSTUS Perhaps it is fitting that our last article on the History behind Christmas should be about the first person mentioned in St. Luke's story of the first Christmas. He was neither Palestinian, nor Jew, nor shepherd, nor wise man. He was in fact, 1500 miles away, the Roman emperor, Caesar Augustus. Were it not for his decision, Jesus would not have been born in Bethlehem, but in Nazareth, the home of Mary (and this would have messed up all the Old Testament prophesies). But because of Augustus' decree Mary and Joseph, descendants of the often married King David, returned to Bethlehem, the city of David. It was here that Mary's first born child was born, according to Luke, in a manger as there was no room at the inn. Certainly they had not called ahead, and there were a lot of travelers at the time, it being the Christmas season and all. Some sixty years earlier, the Roman general Pompey had conquered Palestine and was at this time a "client kingdom" ruled by a local king, Herod the Great, who was directly responsible to the Roman emperor. Augustus himself, grand nephew and adopted heir to Julius Caesar, in addition to being emperor was a religious reformer, for he tried to revive the drooping interest in Rome's state religion. By his day, the average Roman had abandoned his beliefs in the gods of the Greco-Roman pantheon and philosophical skepticism was growing, while the more credulous joined the foreign eastern mystery cults. Feeling that this neglect of the gods was demoralizing Roman society, he set about his religious revival with enthusiasm bestowing temples and shrines on the Empire, restoring eighty-two temples in the city of Rome alone. He became "pontifex maximus" (highest priest) in the state cult and tried to spark a moral renewal in society. Many Roman men and women of the time were indulging in a very easy morality to escape what they called "the tedium of marriage", and soon marital and birth rates had dwindled alarmingly. One day, August was disturbed enough to stalk into the Forum and devise a crude test of the situation: he told a crowd of men gathered there to separate into two groups, the bachelors on one side, the married men on the other. Seeing the handful of husbands he said: What shall I call you? Men? But you aren't fulfilling the duties of men. Citizens? But for all your efforts, the city is perishing. Romans? But you are in the process of blotting out this name altogether! ... What humanity would be left if all the rest of mankind should do what you are doing? ... You are committing murder in not fathering in the first place those who ought to be your descendants! ... and on to other such gems of imperial logic. Augustus followed this with legislation designed to reverse the tide by making promiscuity a crime, while conferring political advantages on a father of three children. Bachelors who shirked "the duty of marriage" were penalized in their right to inherit, and they could not even secure good seats at the games! Bachelors trying to circumvent such penalties by "marrying" infant girls were quickly countered by setting the minimum age for engagement at ten for girls, with a two-year upper limit for the length of engagement. Perhaps it was to gauge his success in raising the marriage and birth rates that Augustus was so concerned about the imperial census, for he took several, as in the Christmas story, during his lengthy reign. Such enrollments, of course, were also the basis for the Roman system of taxation, but the Emperor was pleased enough with the results that he proudly mentioned his censuses in eight place among the thirty-five "Acts of Augustus" for which he wished to be remembered, items that were later engraved on two bronze plaques outside his mausoleum. Some scholars have doubted that imperial Rome would require her subjects to return to their original homes for such enrollments. But this requirement has been supported by the discovery of a Roman census edict from 104 A.D in neighboring Egypt. "Gaius Vibius Maximus, prefect of Egypt, says: The house-to-house census having been started, it is essential that all persons who for any reason whatsoever are absent from their homes be summoned to return to their own hearths, in order that they may perform the customary business of registration..." (See A.H.M. Jones, ed., "A History of Rome Through the Fifth Century", New York: Harper and Row, 1970, II, pp. 256 f.) Had Augustus ever seen these three names on the census returns from Bethlehem? Joseph Ben-Iacob, carpenter Mary Bath-Ioachim, his wife Yeshua or Jesus, first-born son It is very unlikely, and certainly he never learned the significance of what happened in Bethlehem because of his decision to take the census. And at the time of Augustus' death in 14 A.D. Jesus was about 19 years old, an apprentice carpenter in Nazareth, and the Emperor still could not possibly have heard of him. Augustus would have been astounded to know that later ages would assign his own death to the year 14 A.D. ("in the year of the Lord") rather than the Roman date, 767 A.U.C. (ab urbe condita, "from the founding of the city") all because of this unknown subject, born in Bethlehem. And as the years went by this "King of the Jews" would lead a kingdom far more vast than Augustus ever knew. Bill Petro, your friendly neighborhood historian www.billpetro.com/holidayhistory
