Caesar Augustus was the first Roman emperor who ruled from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. He was originally named Gaius Octavius, but was adopted by his great-uncle Julius Caesar, and took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. After defeating his rivals, he became the sole ruler of Rome, bringing about the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace and prosperity. Augustus was also known for his extensive building projects and reforms, including the creation of a new system of government and administration that lasted for centuries. In the Bible, he is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke in connection with the birth of Jesus.
