Who? Octavius/ Augustus


Octavius was a man of great power. He was the nephew of Julius Caesar, and a part of the triumvirate that ruled Rome. His other triumvirs were Lepidus and Marc Antony. After the triumvirate fell apart, Octavius kept ruling Rome. When he was ruling, they called it a time of Pax Romanus, meaning roman peace. This didn't include small areas of fighting, that didn't have very much significance. He ruled until death, and was never even thought to have been overthrown.
