Augustus Caesar ruled from 27 B.C. to 14 A.D. He restored order and brought peace. He organized a successful army that defeated many provinces. The soldiers brought back many new ideas about art, literature, architecture, and religion. They also brought back many priceless items such as strange foods, beautiful jewelry, and unusual animals. Romans were originally polytheistic, but when Augustus and the army conquered new places they added gods. Augustus made prayers and scarifies daily. So Rome benefited from Augustus being Emperor. You would need to know this because it is important history everywhere.

Today in society an Emperor is like a presedent. They both rule large areas.
