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.

Augustus Caesar The Death of Julius Caesar See my poster. See my 3-D project. Julius Caesar was murdered by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius, who led a group of aristocrats in a plot to kill Caesar. They killed him on March 15, 44 B.C. They stabbed him to death as he entered a Senate meeting. He got over 20 wounds from men who had accepted his favors and who he had believed were his friends. The murder led to a war between Augustus and other rivals. The outcome was the empire. Octavian and his partner Mark Antony conquered Macedonia from Brutus and Cassius who were 2 of the republicans who plotted against Julius Caesar. While Antony settled the east Octavian had the task of settling veterans in Italy. In Caesar's will, Octavian was adopted and made Octavian his heir. He got the help of the orator Circero to legalize his adoption over the objections of Antony, Caesar's chief lieutenant who seized Caesar's money and papers. After Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide together, Augustus was the sole ruler of Rome. Antony had controlled Rome after the death of Caesar, but when Antony died Octavian took over. Augustus the Emperor In 27 B.C., when Octavian became the first emperor of Rome, the Senate changed his name to Augustus meaning exalted and respected one. His official name was Imperator Caesar Augustus, but he was called Augustus. He proclaimed the restoration of the republic but was not willing to step down. In office he was given military command for 10 years and also the administration of the army in the provinces that the army was needed in. In 23 B.C., he received the tribunician power for life and assumed in this way the role of protector of Roman people.

princeps himself. To this end, Augustus appointed a cultural advisor, Maecenas, to aid him in extending patronage to poets. The result was an incredibly powerful system for identifying the best poets who could further the ideology of the Augustan government. Rome Glossary Pietas Virtus Eclogues , are often blatantly political in nature. In the first Eclogue , Vergil criticizes Augustus' policies of granting agricultural land to soldiers since these land grants displace poor farmers already living there. However, in the fourth Eclogue , Vergil produces a "prophecy" poem about the birth of Augusts as a savior of the world, bringing peace and law. Since Vergil lived so close to the birth of Christ, the Christians of medieval Europe would interpret the poem as a prophecy about the birth of Christ and give Vergil, a pagan, a kind of honorary status as a Christian poet. Vergil's second work is a versified manual on farming called The Georgics , which had as its subject not only the agricultural life, agrarian values (which the Romans saw as the core set of values in their culture), but also speculation on the natural world and the role of poetry. But Vergil's greatest contribution to Roman literature was the Aeneid , an epic, heroic poem about the founding of Roman civilization by Aeneas, a Trojan hero in flight from the destruction of Troy. The subject of the

After a naval, victory at Actium in 31BC, Augustus Caesar became sole ruler of the Roman empire. His regime was wise and calm, in sharp contrast to the times which had gone before. In Edward Gibbon's famous words Augustus Caesar 'found the city built of brick and left it built of marble'. Horace, Virgil, Ovid and Livy celebrated his achievement. In France the reign of Louis XIV became known as an Augustan Age. In Britain, the name was given to the period which began with the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714), and thus to the Augustan Style of English garden design.

27. 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.

Since it affects the welfare of the allies of the Roman people, I have decided to send it into the provinces ... so that it may be known to all who are under our care. From this it will be evident to all the inhabitants of the provinces how much both I and the senate are concerned that none of our subjects should suffer any improper treatment or any extortion." Decree of the Senate Concerning matters affecting the security of the allies of the Roman people which the Emperor Caesar Augustus ... desired to be brought before the senate, the senate passed the following decree: Our ancestors established a legal process for victims of extortion so that the allies might more easily be able to take action for any wrongs done them and recover monies forcibly taken from them. This type of process has sometimes been very expensive and troublesome for those who have been victimized. For example, poor people or persons weak with illness or age are dragged from far-distant provinces as witnesses. Therefore, in light of the above, the Senate decrees the following:

Contents Index Augustus Caesar That the empire survived the civil wars that destroyed the republic was largely due to the long life (63 B.C.-14 A.D.) and political skill of Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus, later known as Augustus. In 44 B.C. Octavian, great nephew and adopted son of the murdered dictator, rallied Caesar's veterans and used them first against Marc Antony, the chief leader of the Caesarians, and then in alliance with Antony and Lepidus (the Second Triumvirate), against the republicans. Proscriptions caused the death of some 300 senators and 2000 nobles. Opponents of the triumvirate were defeated, and much property was made available with which to reward the troops. After Brutus and Cassius had been defeated at Philippi (42 B.C.), and Mark Antony and Cleopatra at Actium (31 B.C.), Octavian was now without opposition and master of the empire. See Image of Octavian Octavian brought peace to the Roman Empire and became a popular leader. In 27 B.C., the Senate voted to give him the title Augustus , which means "the respected one."

Weaving analysis and narrative throughout a richly illustrated text, Galinsky provides not only an enjoyable account of the major ideas of the age, but also an interpretation of the creative tensions and contradictions that made for its vitality and influence.

Hidden Mysteries Books Worship of Augustus Caesar by Alexander Del Mar Worship of Augustus Caesar: This very rare work shows how the worship of the Roman emperors delayed the establishment of Christianity as the chief religion of the West for several centuries. This material derived from the study of coins, monuments, astrological and astronomical cycles is used to establish a new chronology and survey of history and religion. From the preface: "The worship of Augustus has been admitted.... Its religious significance lies in the inferences that are to be drawn from it. ... Augustus Caesar set himself up for that Son of God whose advent, according to Indian chronology synchronised with the reappearance of the Oriental Messiah; the date being A.U. 691 (B.C. 63) the alleged year of Augustus' birth; that this claim and assumption appears in the literature of his age, was engraved upon his monuments and stamped upon his coins; that it was universally admitted and accepted throughout the Roman empire as valid and legitimate, both according to Indian and Roman chronology, astrology, prophesy, and tradition; that his actual worship as such Son of God Divus Filius- was enjoined and enforced by the laws of the empire, accepted by the priesthood and practised by the people; and that both de jure and de facto it constituted the fundamental article of the Roman imperial and ecclesiastical Constitution. ... Hitherto the worship of Augustus has been kept in the background of Roman antiquities. It must now be either explained away, or accorded a more prominent position in the history and constitution of that great empire from whose womb has issued all the states of the modern world."

Augustus Caesar and His Role in the Pax Romana Deanne Winnat University of Central Arkansas During the 1st century BCE, Rome was experiencing difficulties within the Republican government. In the later half of the century, one man rose to power and completely changed Rome. By using the army and republican institutions, he turned Rome from a declining republic into an empire that would last for centuries. This man was Octavian Augustus Caesar. Octavian was able to be a part of the political scene in Rome because he came from a Patrician family who had connections within the Senate of Rome. Octavian was born on September 23, 63 BC, to Atia, the niece of Julius Caesar. As the great-nephew and adoptive son of Julius Caesar, Octavian was able to gain entry into the political sphere of Rome. In 48, at the age of fifteen, Octavian, through Caesar's influence, was elected to the priestly college of the pontifices, and in 45, he went to Apollina, in Illyria to round out and complete his education. His education was interrupted in 46 B.C., when he went to Spain with his great-uncle and adoptive father, Julius Caesar. While he was in Spain he and his uncle fought against the sons of Pompey the Great.
