Why was Augustus Caesar important??

Question

Answer 1

Charles, Augustus Caesar was important because he created the Roman Empire from the Roman Republic. His new system saved Rome and allowed it to rule for another 500 years.

Answer 2

Because he won the civil war against Mark Anthony/Cleopatra and Brutus, and created the Principate, aka the imperial government, as opposed to the republican government which he abolished for good in all but name. He changed the Roman world forever, with his unconditional will to power.

Whether that "saved" Rome though is open for discussion.

Answer 3

Augustus' reign laid the foundations of a regime that lasted hundreds of years until the ultimate decline of the Roman Empire. Both his borrowed surname, Caesar, and his title Augustus became the permanent titles of the rulers of Roman Empire for fourteen centuries after his death, in use both at Old Rome and New Rome. The city of Rome was utterly transformed under Augustus, with Rome's first institutionalized police force, fire fighting force, and the establishment of the municipal prefect as a permanent office.

Many consider Augustus to be Rome's greatest emperor; his policies certainly extended the Empire's life span and initiated the celebrated Pax Romana or Pax Augusta. He was intelligent, decisive, and a shrewd politician, but he was not perhaps as charismatic as Julius Caesar, and was influenced on occasion by his third wife, Livia (sometimes for the worse). Nevertheless, his legacy proved more enduring.
