Detailed explanation-1: -AUGUSTUS (63 bce–14 ce), Roman emperor. Born Gaius Octavius, he was the grandnephew of Julius Caesar. Adopted by Caesar, and made his chief heir at nineteen, Octavius built upon Caesar’s name, charisma, military success, political connections, and fortune.
Detailed explanation-2: -Imperator Caesar Augustus. On 16 January 27 BC, partly on his own insistence, the Roman Senate granted him the surname Augustus (Latin: [au̯ˈɡʊstʊs]).
Detailed explanation-3: -Historians agree that Caesar Augustus was one of the most successful Roman emperors. Born Gaius Octavius in 63 BC, he reigned as emperor for 45 years, until his death in 14 AD. As the grand-nephew and adopted son of Julius Caesar, he took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Octavian).
Detailed explanation-4: -As well as inventing a new name, Augustus styled himself as a new kind of leader. He founded the principate, a system of monarchy led by a ruling emperor, who would retain his role for life. This arrangement officially made him the first Roman Emperor, or ‘princeps’, setting a precedent for the next 500 years.
