Within a decade Caesars adopted Son (Octavian, or Caesar Augustus) was in control and laid the foundation for Imperial Rome.The Big Reds (2-3) rode the legs of Drew White, Mac Mac Pettigrew and Bradyn Beckett for a single-game school record 565 yards and a program-tying eight touchdowns. Dictator wasn't a dirty word back then, it was an emergency position within the legal framework of Rome for dealing with crises.Ī conspiracy of Senators had enough and stabbed him to death in the Senate, hoping to restore the Republic. So he went all in and crossed the River Rubicon with his army which is insanely illegal.Īfterwards he was proclaimed Dictator, first for a year, then ten, then for life. There was a good chance he would be charged with crimes if he came to the city. When Caesar returned from Gaul he was in big trouble. As Caesar consolidated more power, became more powerful, and secured more legal powers as High Priest (Pontifex Maximus), Consul (one of two leaders of the senate, sort of like a Prime Minister for one year at a time) some of the more traditionalist Senators thought he was getting a bit King-y. Romans also had a serious hatred for Kings. He also did a bunch of War crimes, and personally fucked off a lot of powerful people to get what he wanted.Īs governor of transalpine Gaul (North of the Alps) he had effectively done a bit of ethnic cleansing and conquered Gaul (mostly France, bits of Germany, Spain, etc), without authorisation from the Senate. This was not beneficial to the wealthy elites. Ol' Jules was a populist, he wanted to divert funds towards feeding the poor, and he wanted land reform to pay Romes Legions what they were owed. I mean, it was part of Augustus's propaganda I think. Divus Julius was the first and most iconic. Augustus and later emperors' deification were due to their connection to Caesar. He was "only" princeps.Ĭaesar was still the most iconic and the first to be deified as such. I'm just trying to add that you forgot to mention the name of the title which encodes that difference. Your original point was that Augustus didn't quite have the same level of power as Julius Caesar in some ways. So you've got your dictator for life (eg Julius Caesar), your softer principate emperors (eg Octavian Augustus), and your dominate emperors (eg Diocletian). They usually distinguish the principate emperors, who had softer power, from the dominate emperors of the later empire, who had cwere more despots. The propaganda meaning was "first among equals", but the actual meaning was "emperor". I called it a cognate but that's probably not the right term, it's just a loanword.īut when Augustus founded the title of princeps, it didn't mean the son of a king. princeps came to mean "prince", similar to how caesar, kaiser, or tsar came to mean king.
