Best Answer

The empire suffered under the control of unsuccessful or mentally ill emperors for a while. (Tiberius, Caligula, Nero) Although Claudius was an exception, his intelligence and managements did not save the empire from its turmoil of catastrophe.

The reign of Augustus ended with his death. He died of natural causes at the age of 75.

Another credible version is that he was assassinated by his wife to set her son Tiberius up as emperor.

Augustus was succeeded by Tiberius, who was a reluctant emperor. He delegated government business to the head of the imperial guard, who then plotted to overthrow him. The conspiracy was foiled. Tiberius then instituted a series of treason trials.

Augustus died of old age. Some ancient writers alleged that he was poisoned by his wife. This is possible but unauthenticated.

No, that is not true. Although Augustus had no male heirs and his immediate successor was a son by adoption, the third emperor, Caligula, was the great grandson of Augustus, as his mother was the granddaughter of Augustus. The mother of the next emperor, Claudius, was the niece of Augustus and Nero was the great great grandson of Augustus. All three emperors who were related to Augustus were related through their mothers.
