Augustus

After Cesar was assassinated Augustus wanted nothing more than to “claim his inheritance and to avenge his slain “father”(Cole&Symes).” This vengeance left constant warfare that came to an end after the victory at Actium. At this point in time Rome was no longer a republic. Augustus ruled for four years as an independent citizen then accepted his title as “emperor.” Augustus was the first roman emperor and led Rome’s transformation from republic to empire. Augustus never claimed the title as emperor

city by the first BC but the reign of Augustus transformed it into an imperial city. In 31 BCE, Augustus became the supreme commander of the Roman Republic. During the Augustan Revolution, art and architecture pushed a political agenda. Art portraying Augustus remains common throughout his reign. The art and architecture helped reinforce Augustus’ political message that he was the restorer of Rome. An example of Augustus’ artistic propaganda is the statue Augustus of Primaporta from 20 BCE.

Jackson Spirito Professor Salzman History 27 8 December 2014 Mausoleum of Augustus There is an old saying, Rome was not built in a day. The early Roman Kingdom emerged with the aid of the Etruscans, the original Italians inhabiting Italy around 800 BCE.
