And everyone was afraid of Octavian. So when Octavian just kept ruling almost as if he were king, nobody tried to stop him. He made people call him Augustus (which means The Good) instead of Octavian. But he was smarter than his uncle Julius Caesar had been. He didn't call himself dictator, but First Citizen. He didn't disband the Senate; he made the Senate do what he wanted. He had himself elected tribune , so he could veto whatever the Senate did that he didn't like. People knew that Augustus was really taking over, but as long as there was peace and he didn't SAY he was taking over, it was okay with them.

104. Octavian To Augustus: Images Coin images and other objets d'art reflecting Roman history from Julius caesar through the Triumvirates to augustus caesar. Images, scant text. http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~ekondrat/Octavian3.html

From Octavian to Augustus: Images Illustrating His Rise to Power During the decades leading up to Julius Caesar's dictatorship, Roman coinage took on an increasingly personal character, displaying designs with a clear propagandistic message promoting the family or the political favorites of the moneyer who struck the coins for that year. Types commemorated victories, beneficent legislation, famous ancestors, and the like. The trend reached an extreme in early 44 BC when Caesar, stockpiling money to pay for his imminent Parthian campaign, had coins struck with his own portrait, a first for the official coinage of Rome (the images of living Romans had appeared on coins at the periphery of the empire as early as ca. 196 BC, but never on Rome's official state issues). This move was counted as one among many which showed Caesar's tendency towards monarchical behavior and which resulted in his assassination. Far from removing this problem of self-aggrandizement on coinage, however, Caesar's death left the field open for a wide array of would-be rulers who copied the trend to promote themselves, first among the soldiers who supported their causes (for pay and rewards of booty), secondly among the rest of the populace. Thus, we have today a most interesting numismatic documentation of portraits and propagandistic messages of the men who struggled for power in the political vacuum left by Caesar's sudden departure; more to the point, we also can trace the rise to power of Octavian, who ultimately became Rome's first Emperor, known otherwise as Augustus. These are presented below.

Home Forum Empire Government ... Books Roman Government: Emperors Offices Roman Laws Republican Statesmen ... Provincial Government Caesar and Augustus The title of Caesar, taken from the hereditary name of Gaius Julius Caesar, eventually became synonymous with the heir to the throne. The title of the Emperor (Imperator) was actually “Augustus”. Octavianus, the heir of Julius Caesar and first Roman Emperor is known by the name Augustus, as he was the first to be appointed with that title. This position, essentially granting absolute power over the senate and people for life, replaced the old periodic Republican title of Dictator. While we today know Octavian as Augustus, each Emperor was actually awarded the title. When an Augustus named an heir to the throne, that heir would be known thereafter as Caesar, until his ascension, when he too would become Augustus.

Nam et vicus celeberrima parte oppidi iam pridem Octavius vocabatur et ostendebatur ara Octavio consecrata, qui bello dux finitimo, cum forte Marti rem divinam faceret, nuntiata repente hostis incursione, semicruda exta rapta foco prosecuit, atque ita proelium ingressus victor redit. Decretum etiam publicum extabat, quo cavebatur ut in posterum quoque simili modo exta Marti redderentur, reliquiaeque ad Octavios referrentur. ] C. Octavius pater a prinipio aetatis et re et existimatione magna fuit, ut equidem mirer hunc quoque a nonnullis argentarium atque etiam inter divisores operasqe compestris proditum; amplis enim innutritus opibus, honores et adeptus est facile et egregie administravit. Ex praetura Macedoniam sortitus, fugitivos, residuam Spartaci et Catilinae manum, Thurinum agrum tenentis, in itinere delevit, negotio sibi in senatu extra ordinem dato.
