In an effort to be as accurate as we can about what we post here, we looked further into the life of Augustus. He was born Gaius Octavius and his family was a quite wealthy equestrian one. Augustus was the great-nephew of Julius Ceasar, later becoming his adopted son and heir, according to Julius' will. He founded the Roman Empire and became its first Emperor , although he preferred the title of "First Citizen of the State", in 27 BC, ruling until his death in 14 AD at the age of 75.
