2 + Augustus 27 BCE-14 CE

3 + Background Born Gaius Octavius Thurinus in 63 BCE Equestrian family with mild connections, most importantly that his Mother (Atia Balba Caesonia) was the niece of Julius Caesar Father died when Octavian was young, thereby allowing Octavian to become the adopted son of Caesar http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Julius_Caesar_Cou stou_Louvre.png http://www.mrdowling.com/702- augustus.html

4 + Rise to Power Octavian massed armies of Caesarian veterans and marched on Rome against Marc Antony in 44 BCE Octavian becomes senator 43 BCE and joins in the second Triumvirate with Antony and Lepidus Pompey’s son Sextus Pompeius threatens the Triumvirate and Lepidus is broken off Octavian and Antony fight over Rome, culminating in Octavian winning the naval Battle of Actium in 31 BCE and killing Antony and his ally Cleopatra http://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogs pot.com/2010/11/rehabilitating- cleopatra.html#.UUKtqaXU7zI http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia_of_history/C/Caesar_to_Augustus.html http://commons.wikimedia.o rg/wiki/File:Aureus_Sextus_ Pompeius_42BC_Goldberg.J PG

5 + Imperator 27 BCE became Augustus Caesar, and the princeps civitatis among other titles First Augustus restored the senate to old ways, with only the upper class and less members He also restricted the power of the popular assemblies to practically nonexistent He also cut the army in half with less men per legion and kept them on the borders Set up praetorian guard of 9,000 to keep the peace in and around Rome He allowed the Republic based offices to continue as a title of honor, not real power, which was reserved for his advisors. http://to-the-manner- born.blogspot.com/2011/08/se xtilis.html http://htmlgiant.com/music/ki ndersachen/attachment/roma n_augustus21/

6 + Improvements (Pax Romana) Augustus lightly extended the borders, mostly to fortify the preexisting Empire Organized provinces into the Roman style, with power over them split between himself and the Senate Set up civil services, such as a post office and road crews Within Rome, Augustus put together different offices to maintain the peace and food with capable people. Organized the treasury by what is his and what is the Senate’s while centralizing the collection of taxes to his own offices.

7 + Improvements (Pax Romana) Augustus preferred peace to war, and after making diplomatic peace with the Parthians (in the east), he tried to defeat the Germanic tribes but gave up after Teutoberg Forest (9 CE He was advised primarily by Agrippa as a general, and Maecenas for the arts “I found a Rome of bricks; I leave to you one of marble” Augustus built temples, palace, libraries, and encouraged poetry and literature and the ancient forms of religion. http://architecture.about.com/od/do mes/ss/Pantheon-In-Rome_3.htm http://en.wikipedia.or g/wiki/Marcus_Vipsani us_Agrippa http://www.civilization.org.uk/augus tus/agrippa-and-maecenas

8 + Death Reigned for 45 years, instigating a long period of peace in Roman history Left his adopted son Tiberius in charge after his natural death in 14 CE http://www.romanemperors.com/images/tiberius/1-louvre-bust-face-bw.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mausoleum_of_Augustus

10 + Tiberius 14 CE-37 CE

11 + Background Son of Claudian Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia Drusilla Step-son of Augustus when Livia divorced Nero for Augustus Married Augustus’ daughter and adopted by Augustus, joining the Claudian and Julian lines A great general, chosen heir of Augustus by Augustus http://www.rome101.com/portraiture/JuliaElder/

12 + Imperator Became Emperor following Augustus’s death Opposition from the army: Legions in Rhine area wanted Germanicus on the throne Germanicus remained loyal to Tiberius and invaded Germany to occupy his troops with mild success Tiberius sent Germanicus to Parthians after German success with no success with Parthians http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanicus

13 + A Few Changes Took away people power, popular assemblies lose power to elect to the senate Tiberius was more paranoid about his rule, so he made treason include hostilities against the emperor Set up paid spies to listen if people spoke badly Kept his friends and enemies in one place near Rome, for his own safety and to continue his paranoia http://www.crystalinks.com/romesenate.html http://ancientrome.ru/art/artwo rken/img.htm?id=4455

14 + Provinces Tiberius only focused his paranoia on Rome, and took care of the provinces of Rome better than Rome itself Tiberius mostly allowed the provinces to continue as they had with Augustus, trying to continue the Augustan legacy Gave relief to provinces from earthquake in Asia while Rome was savaged by plight and his own paranoia http://www.laits.utexas.edu/moore/rome/image/map-roman-empire-tiberius-14-37-ad-trajan-98-117-ad

15 + Sejanus Sejanus was Tiberius’s trusted advisor, who shouldn’t have been trusted Sejanus caused the murder of Drusus, Tiberius’s son so that he could rise to power Sejanus forced Tiberius into retiring to Capri in 26 CE after an uncertain reign with increasingly harsh laws in Rome Sejanus instituted a reign of terror on Rome, killing any and all opposition, eventually plotting the death of Tiberius His treason was eventually discovered and he was executed, but the killing did not stop there http://www.flickr.com/photos/bstorage/68 52537661/

16 + Aftermath and Death After Sejanus’s treason and his son’s death, Tiberius ruled Rome from seclusion at Capri His paranoia had reached exponential levels, and he ordered the prisons emptied in case of lingering Sejanus supporters Rome was allowed to run on fumes left over from Augustus until Tiberius died in 37 CE to be succeeded by Caligula http://www.art247.com/Photo/13840
