General: The first Roman Emperor and material great-nephew of Julius Caesar, Augustus ruled Rome from 27 C to 14 AD. The adopted son of and heir apparent of Julius Caesar, Augustus, then Octavian, together with Mark Antony and Marucs Lepidus formed the Second Triumrivate, each controlling a portion of the Roman Republic as military dictators. E ventually, turning against one another, Augustus prevailed, with Lepidus driven to exile, and Mark Antony, to suicide with Cleopatra, following their defeat at Alexandria.
