Caesar Augustus, also known as Octavian, was the first Roman emperor. He ruled from 27 BC until his death on August 19, AD 14. His birthday was September 23, 63 BC. His legacy as one of the greatest leaders in human history has been cemented by his role as the founder of the Roman Principate, the precursor to the Roman Empire. The Pax Romana or Pax Augusta, a period of imperial peace, and an imperial cult were both established during the rule of Augustus. Despite ongoing wars of imperial expansion on the Empire's borders and the year-long civil war known as the "Year of the Four Emperors" over the imperial succession, the Roman world experienced relatively little major conflict for more than two centuries.
