Augustus-Great Leader By Jessica The Last King When the Roman Empire first started it was ruled by kings. The last king was Tarquin the Proud. Tarquin was very cruel and proud. One time he murdered a king and he also made false accusations against some senators, so he could steal their lands. He made Romans obey him by bullying them. Eventually he was thrown out of power by the people in 590 B.C. The First Emperor Augustus was born on September 23rd o3 B.C. Augustus was Julius Caesar’s great-nephew. He was first emperor of Rome. Augustus’s real name that was given to him when he was born was Gaius Octavius, but when his great uncle died, Julius Caesar, he took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian. Augustus was able to achieve power of Rome. Leadership Qualities Augustus was a very good Roman leader. He knew how to control the Romans very well so he was very respected. He made people of higher power adjust to losing their power so, gradually took power away from the Senate. Augustus was very smart when it came to the military. He treated them with respect by doing things like making the city a very beautiful place for the Romans to live. His most important leadership quality though, was his intelligence, because he made many excellent decisions. Whether it was deciding on what to do for military reasoning, or what to do about political issues, he still made good decisions. Rome wouldn’t have done as well without Augustus. That is how great of a leader he was. He gave Rome a push in the right direction. Bibliography www.phippy.com/octavian/oveleadership.htm MacDonald, Fiona. The Romans. Chicago: Raintree, 2003.
