Augustus Caesar When Augustus Caesar of Rome  was born on September 23rd 63 B.C. , he was given the name  Gaius Octavius. He took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Octavian) in 44 B.C. after the murder of his great uncle, Julius Caesar. In his will Caesar had adopted Octavian and made him his heir. With the death of Marc Anthony in 31 B.C., Octavian became the sole ruler of Rome . Augustus ruled Rome  for forty-one years, though he did not call himself emperor. Augustus was very respectful to the senators, but the senate knew he controlled the army and could do as he pleased. In the United States  today, our rulers are more like Presidents. Barack Obama is our President, he runs our country.
