Agustus
By Joe Sasson
The Beginning
• Augustus was born Gaius Octavius on 23
September 63 BC in Rome. In 43 BC his greatuncle, Julius Caesar, was assassinated and in
his will, Octavius, known as Octavian, was
named as his heir. He fought to avenge Caesar
and in 31 BC defeated Antony and Cleopatra
at the Battle of Actium. He was now
undisputed ruler of Rome.
The Middle Age
• Military disaster, the loss of his grandsons and
a troubled economy clouded his last years. He
became more dictatorial, exiling the poet Ovid
(AD 8), who had mocked his moral reforms. He
died on 19 August AD 14.
Actium
• The Battle of Actium, in 31, decides the issue.
Octavian wins. Antony and Cleopatra flee back
to Egypt, where Octavian pursues them. On
his arrival, in 30, they both commit suicide.
Octavian stays in the east long enough to
secure Cleopatra's Egypt as a new province of
the empire. In August 29 Octavian enters
Rome in triumph, the undisputed master of
both east and west.
