The Reign of Octavian

Octavian was Julius Caesar's sole heir and successor, overcoming his great obstacle to being Rome's first emperor. When Caesar was assassinated in March 44, BC, when he was 19, the wisdom and perseverance of Octavian proved that he was young and the lack of experience and political opposition obstacles succeeded. Octavian has one of the most famous political career so far by defeating Senator Mark Anthony and exclusively controlling the Roman Empire.

People understand that "the rule of Octavia is an important political turning point in the history of Rome". (Wells 1992). The main rule governing him is recovery rather than revolution. First of all, the recovery of Rome itself as a city has a sacred meaning to the citizen. When the Gaulians destroyed the city, the Romans were advised to move to the town of Veii, but as they lived in the land of their ancestors, their traditions and the ancient cult land I could not do it. "There is a city built by sponsorship and prophecy, we do not have places filled with our cults and gods, not only places but times are also specified in regular ceremonies.") so. Therefore, the aim of Augustus is to make Rome the heart of the empire.

Virgil lived at the peak of the first era of the Roman Empire, later later known as Augustus during the reign of Emperor Ottawa. But before Augustus became the emperor, internal conflicts were plaguing the Roman government. In the youth of Virgil, the first trio, Julius Caesar, Pompey, Krassus ruled the Roman Republic. Krassas was murdered in about 53 BC, Caesar started a civil war against Pompeii. After breaking Pompeii, Caesar dominated by Yiddis alone on March 44, and the two senators Brutus and Cassius assassinated him. The assassin and the second Big Three - Octavian, Anthony and Lepidus broke out during the civil war. By 36 BC, only Octavian and Anthony still existed, and they began to fight each other. In the battle of Actium in 31 BC, Octavian defeated Anthony and his friend Egypt's Cleopatra, and finally reinforced his own power at last. Four years later, he won the title of Augustus
