Octavian Augustus, born as Gaius Octavius (63 BC–14 AD), was the first emperor of Rome, marking the end of the Republic with his reign. Octavian was the adopted son of his great-uncle Julius Caesar and became his successor after Caesar’s assassination. Along with Lepidus and Mark Antony, he ruled in a triumvirate that lasted until a confrontation with Antony during the Civil Wars. Octavian ultimately defeated the combined forces of Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium (31 BC), becoming Rome’s undisputed leader. In 27 BC, he was invested as the first emperor under the name Caesar Augustus, beginning an empire that would last four centuries.

The reign of Caesar Augustus shaped Roman history, inaugurating a period of nearly two hundred years of stability and prosperity known as the Pax Romana. Augustus also introduced significant political and administrative reforms, consolidating the structures of the Empire and leaving a legacy that would endure for 400 years. After his death, he was deified and worshiped in temples across the Empire. Subsequent emperors adopted the title Caesar Augustus in his honor.
