Augustus Caesar **

** Augustus Caesar is a very important person to know and learn about. He was the first ruler of **** Rome ****. If you ever ran into Augustus you would want to know what to do and how to act around him so here are so things about him that are good to know about Augustus Caesar, Ruler of **** Rome ****. ** **      Impact on Today’s Society * Augustus was a old emperor. He kept things running smoothly, and in my opinion that was a good start. Now today we have 1 president to run things the way he thinks things should be. I think that when we had Emperors’ there were strict laws and rules you had to follow, and the president we have now a day’s lets us have freedom. So I like todays society better then when we had Augustus.
 * Augustus Caesar took power in 31 B.C. He was called precepts, or first among equals. He gave citizenship to all male Italians resettled soldiers throughout the Empire to spread Roman language & culture, sponsored many buildings & art projects. Augustus was born in 63 B.C. (before-Christ) His original name was Octavian but changed Caesar. **
 * He ruled **** Rome **** for 41 years though he did not call himself an emperor. He built massive roads & bridges, it to Augustus government buildings, & huge public baths. Also many Romans deified Augustus after his death. Thus means they worshipped him as a god. To earn the loyalty of the Roman Army because Augustus wanted the people to like him, not despise him so if they hated or feared Augustus, they would not turn on him if there was ever a war or a need that Augustus demanded.
