Currently researching the Gallic Wars for inspiration on making some fantasy lore. Also in my research, I've found that Julius Caesar had quite a big ego. Who knew.
Augustus, also called Augustus Caesar, was the first Roman emperor following the republic, which had been finally destroyed by the dictatorship of Julius Caesar.
@knapsdad He never declared himself Emperor. The first Roman Emperor was Augustus. Actually the people of Rome tried to crown Caesar king three times and he refused each time.
