	Augustus (27 BC-AD14) The first Roman Emperor, Augustus (at first known as Octavian) was adopted by his great Uncle Julius Caesar as his son and heir. At the time of Caesar's assassination, Augustus was visiting Illiricum. He quickly returned, but only managed to obtain his rights as heir after a brief but bitter struggle with Mark Antony. Later they patched up their differences, and together with Lepidus, formed a Triumverate and set about wreaking vengeance on the murderers of Julius Caesar. Together they defeated Brutus and Cassius at Philippi, and Lucius at Perusia, and after defeating the navy of Sextus Pompey, they found there was nobody left to fight but themselves. Antony humiliated his wife (Octavian's sister) by his dalliance in Egypt with Cleopatra, and this was all the excuse that Octavian needed. He declared war on his erstwhile partner, and smashed him in the naval battle of Actium. Silver denarius of Augustus, the reverse depicting Caius & Lucius caesars. Price Ł85	Buy this coin
	Augustus Shortly after the suicide of M.Antony, Lepidus gave up most of his powers to Augustus, leaving him in sole command of the Roman world. The Empire expanded steadily, but in 9AD, in possibly the only setback of his reign, the entire Roman Army in Germany under Publius Varus, was annihilated by the Cherusci under their famous leader Arminus. This loss was a terrible shock to the old Emperor, who is said to have cried out in anguish "Varus, Varus, give me back my legions!" His reign is also noted for improvements to his capitol, indeed it is often said of Augustus that he had "found Rome of brick and left it marble". He died at Nola in AD 14 at the age of 77.

Eventually, in AD 81 he succeeded in poisoning Titus and so, at the age of 30 he became the most powerful man in the world. He then proceeded to murder, mutilate and maim everyone of whom he was jealous, which was most people, or at least anyone who had ever done anything notable. He stole anything that took his fancy, exiled or murdered anyone who protested, and demanded to be worshiped as a god. To the great satisfaction of all, and with the connivance of his wife, he was murdered in 96 AD. Silver denarius of Domitian, the reverse depicting the soldiers favourite goddess Minerva.
