	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, the obverse depicting Caius & Lucius Caesars Price Ł185 SOLD	Buy this coin

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.
