Augustus: 63 BCE - 14), known as Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (the 'us' on the end of Octavian indicated that his father died before his birth). He was nominated as his heir by the assassinated Julius Caesar who had adopted him. After Caesar's death he joined in a triumvirate with Marc Antony and Lepidus to control the Roman Republic during the ensuing civil war with Caesar's murderers including Cassius and Brutus. After their defeat he shared control of the Roan empire with the other two until war broke out again and he defeated Antony and Cleopatra.
He 'restprted the Republic' but, to avoid the prospect of other generals conteting for power which had plagued Rome for the past century, he established mechanisms to give himself over-riging control. This was based on taking for life the powers (not office) of a tribune of the plebs (immunity, veto and introducing legislation) and the powers of procosulship outside Rome; he left control of the settled provinces to the Senate, but took control of the unsettled ones, which is where the legions were so he had control of the army.
This fix preserved the outward form of the Roman Republic, but left him in overall control without the crude measure of being Dictator which had brought Julius Caeasar undone. He thus ruled as an autocrat for 41 years, longer than any subsequent ruler; and his rule is the dividing line between what we now call the Republic and the Principate (he took the title of princeps - First Citizen - any suggestion or being a king or emperor would bring out the knives which felled Julius Caesar). The word Emperor is a modern one - it comes from 'imperator' which is what general were called on the battlefield after a victory. I came into use to describe a ruler much later.
He ended a century of civil wars and set about limitinh and stabilising Rome's borders, opening an era of relative peace, prosperity, and imperial greatness, known as the Pax Romana, or Roman peace, which lasted for over 200 years
