Description

Augustus was the first emperor of Rome. He replaced the Roman republic with an effective monarchy and during his long reign brought peace and stability.

Imperator Caesar Augustus. On 16 January 27 BC, partly on his own insistence, the Roman Senate granted him the honorific Augustus ( Latin: [au̯ˈɡʊstʊs]). Historians use this name to refer to him from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. [11] The name is sometimes given as "Augustus Caesar".

Strike Force Agastus – ContentsAfter the death of Marcellus in 23BC, Augustus married his daughter to Agrippa. This union produced five children, three sons and two daughters: Gaius Caesar, Lucius Caesar, Vipsania Julia, Agrippina, and Agrippa Postumus, so named because he was born after Marcus Agrippa died. Shortly after the second settlement, Agrippa was granted a five-year term of administering the eastern half of the empire with the imperium of a proconsul and the same tribunicia potestas granted to Augustus (although not trumping Augustus's authority), his seat of governance stationed at Samos in the eastern Aegean. [220] [221] This granting of power showed Augustus's favor for Agrippa, but it was also a measure to please members of his Caesarian party by allowing one of their members to share a considerable amount of power with him. [221] To a large extent, the public was aware of the vast financial resources that Octavian commanded. He failed to encourage enough senators to finance the building and maintenance of networks of roads in Italy in 20 BC, but he undertook direct responsibility for them. This was publicized on the Roman currency issued in 16 BC, after he donated vast amounts of money to the aerarium Saturni, the public treasury. [127] Octavian as a magistrate. The statue's marble head was made c. 30–20BC, the body sculpted in the 2nd century AD ( Louvre, Paris). The Senate heaped many more rewards on Decimus Brutus than on Octavian for defeating Antony, then attempted to give command of the consular legions to Decimus Brutus. [67] In response, Octavian stayed in the Po Valley and refused to aid any further offensive against Antony. [68] In July, an embassy of centurions sent by Octavian entered Rome and demanded the consulship left vacant by Hirtius and Pansa [69] and also that the decree should be rescinded which declared Antony a public enemy. [68] When this was refused, he marched on the city with eight legions. [68] He encountered no military opposition in Rome and on 19 August 43BC was elected consul with his relative Quintus Pedius as co-consul. [70] [71] Meanwhile, Antony formed an alliance with Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, another leading Caesarian.

[73] A prime example of Roman loss in battle was the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9, where three entire legions led by Publius Quinctilius Varus were destroyed by Arminius, leader of the Cherusci, an apparent Roman ally. [214] Augustus retaliated by dispatching Tiberius and Drusus to the Rhineland to pacify it, which had some success although the battle brought the end to Roman expansion into Germany. [215] The Roman general Germanicus took advantage of a Cherusci civil war between Arminius and Segestes; at the Battle of Idistaviso in AD 16, he defeated Arminius.

From the book Romanorum Imperatorum effigies (1583), preserved in the Municipal Library of Trento (Italy) In 44 BCE, whilst completing his academic studies in Spain, he learned of Julius Caesar's death and returned to Rome.

And speaking about military accomplishments, the scene on the cuirass deserves to be examined in closer detail. In the centre, a figure in baggy trousers is giving a standard to a Roman soldier. Individuals in trousers are invariably barbarians (i.e. non-Greek and non-Roman): A closeup of the scene on the cuirass. While this will get you a bunch of new minis, the question is, what kind of value is inside the new Space Marines Box Strike Force Agastus? Augustus (known as Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus) was the first and one of the most important Roman Emperors. He lived from 63 BCE - 14 CE and led Rome in its transition from a Republic to a great Empire. In reality, of course, Augustus ensured that the power of the Republic rested firmly in his hands. While he would never have been designated as such in his own time, Augustus was nonetheless the first of a long line of monarchs that we refer to as emperors. He was fortunate to reign for a long period of time, from 27 BC to AD 14, as he had to chance to pass important reforms and to establish a dynasty of his own. The Augustus of Prima Porta While in Egypt, Antony had been engaged in an affair with Cleopatra and had fathered three children with her. [e] Aware of his deteriorating relationship with Octavian, Antony left Cleopatra; he sailed to Italy in 40BC with a large force to oppose Octavian, laying siege to Brundisium. This new conflict proved untenable for both Octavian and Antony, however. Their centurions, who had become important figures politically, refused to fight because of their Caesarian cause, while the legions under their command followed suit. Meanwhile, in Sicyon, Antony's wife Fulvia died of a sudden illness while Antony was en route to meet her. Fulvia's death and the mutiny of their centurions allowed the two remaining triumvirs to effect a reconciliation. [90] [91]Alongside this, he began to rebuild the cities and towns which had been damaged or affected by the civil war which is uncle had raged. Augustus built roads, bridges, buildings and government structure to support the people of Rome. One of the more interesting monuments made during the reign of Rome’s first emperor Augustus (r. 27 BC–AD 14) is a statue referred to as the “Augustus of Prima Porta”. Hence the presence of a Cupid riding a dolphin near this statue’s right leg. It may also explain why Augustus’ feet are bare: heroes as well as gods were routinely depicted as wandering the world without any kind of shoes to protect their feet. As such, this element may have further served to emphasize the ruler’s divine ancestry. The fact that the statue is literally larger-than-lifesize would also have made an impact. In the late spring Augustus had a severe illness and on his supposed deathbed made arrangements that would ensure the continuation of the principate in some form, [154] [161] while allaying senators' suspicions of his anti-republicanism. Augustus prepared to hand down his signet ring to his favored general Agrippa. However, Augustus handed over to his co-consul Piso all of his official documents, an account of public finances, and authority over listed troops in the provinces while Augustus's supposedly favored nephew Marcellus came away empty-handed. [162] [163] This was a surprise to many who believed Augustus would have named an heir to his position as an unofficial emperor. [164]

Lucius and his army were spared because of his kinship with Antony, the strongman of the East, while Fulvia was exiled to Sicyon. [87] Octavian showed no mercy, however, for the mass of allies loyal to Lucius. On 15 March, the anniversary of Julius Caesar's assassination, he had 300 Roman senators and equestrians executed for allying with Lucius. [88] Perusia also was pillaged and burned as a warning for others. [87] This bloody event sullied Octavian's reputation and was criticized by many, such as Augustan poet Sextus Propertius. [88]And this statue of Augustus is definitely a good example of a piece of material culture that was used as part of a social strategy. Examining the statue itself, its various figurative elements, and indeed the location where it was found give us a glimpse into the many possible uses and meanings of ancient Roman art. The emperor Augustus Augustus was granted sole imperium within the city of Rome in addition to being granted proconsular imperium maius and tribunician authority for life. Traditionally, proconsuls (Roman province governors) lost their proconsular "imperium" when they crossed the Pomerium—the sacred boundary of Rome—and entered the city. In these situations, Augustus would have power as part of his tribunician authority, but his constitutional imperium within the Pomerium would be less than that of a serving consul, which meant that when he was in the city he might not be the constitutional magistrate with the most authority. Thanks to his prestige or auctoritas, his wishes would usually be obeyed, but there might be some difficulty. To fill this power vacuum, the Senate voted that Augustus's imperium proconsulare maius (superior proconsular power) should not lapse when he was inside the city walls. All armed forces in the city had formerly been under the control of the urban praetors and consuls, but this situation now placed them under the sole authority of Augustus. [181] The Tyranids aren’t terribly bothered by the exact state of galactic geopolitics at present – they just like a ready supply of tasty biomass, and a space hulk to ride around in. Their Boarding Patrol contains six adaptable Tyranid Warriors to split into squads of three, eight fast-moving Genestealers , and a fearsome Broodlord to direct them all. This boxed set focuses on an elite strike force of Space Marines, including miniatures that are available here for the first time. Leading the charge is a Primaris Lieutenant, who can be customised with a choice of cosmetic parts and a variety of weapon options – his left hand grips a plasma pistol, heavy bolt pistol, or a bolt rifle with one of three configurations, while his right hand can wield a power fist or a power sword, or simply gesture to a tactical goal. Augustus was far from Rome when Caesar was killed, but he immediately returned upon hearing the news. When he reached Rome, he was told that he had been adopted by Caesar as his heir, which made Augustus the 'consul' of Rome. This meant he was the de-facto leader. Although, he was not emperor yet, he needed more support for that. War against Marc Antony and Cleopatra
