Detailed explanation-1: -He is known for being the founder of the Roman Principate, which is the first phase of the Roman Empire, and is considered one of the greatest leaders in human history. The reign of Augustus initiated an imperial cult as well as an era associated with imperial peace, the Pax Romana or Pax Augusta.
Detailed explanation-2: -Augustus (also known as Octavian) was the first emperor of ancient Rome. Augustus came to power after the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE.
Detailed explanation-3: -Q: What good did Octavian do? Octavian was the first Roman emperor and contributed considerable infrastructure and public works to Rome. He created a solid postal system as well as extensive roads and schools. Additionally, he was successful financially, militarily, and generally well-liked among Romans.
