Historical Usage

Historical References

Julius Caesar was a military dictator and statesman of the late Roman Republic. He played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire, which is considered to have begun with his appointment as the first Roman Emperor in 27 BC. Caesar's military conquests in Gaul (58–50 BC) made him a prominent figure in Roman politics. He was assassinated by a group of senators who conspired against him in 44 BC.

58 BC - 44 BC

Gaius Octavius, later known as Augustus, was the first Roman Emperor. He rose to power after the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC. Octavius assumed power after the civil war between Mark Antony and Octavian (later known as Octavian) and the defeat of Mark Antony and Cleopatra in the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. The new Roman Empire, which began with Augustus' reign, was characterized by relative peace and stability, which lasted for over 200 years.
