Homepage  Stephen Riley's survival guide to Augustus Caesar

coliseum, Aqueducts, Roads, and the Weapons Augustus Caesar was defiantly the best ruler that Rome has ever had. Augustus was the person who founded the Empire. Augustus’s name was actually “Octavian” but later the senate changed it to “Augustus” which means “the revered one.” Augustus did many things for the roman people. First off he extended the highway system so that there were straight paths to every city in Rome. He developed a postal service to that people could talk to each other through letters. Before Augustus the Roman citizens were fighting and stealing but, when Augustus came he brought peace to the people. He started a patrol service that patrolled the highways. He started the fire brigades to stop the fires that could happen. He also widened the Tiber River so that it would not flood as bad as it did. He even distributed corn and grain evenly so that everyone would get food. I think that Augustus Caesar is the greatest Roman leader because of all of the things that he did for the citizens of Rome.
