Augustus - a ruler with assertiveness and charisma
The people of Rome loved the assertive Augustus because he acted with foresight and was purposeful. He was often ill in childhood, yet his adoptive father Julius Caesar designated him as his immediate successor. Caesar was impressed by Augustus' strength and by his ability to prevail with the Roman people. By the time Augustus reached the age of eighteen, he was highly respected in Rome and appreciated by the people.
Peace-loving and honored by the people - a great ruler without a title
As a devastating civil war raged in the empire, he climbed his political ladder. When Augustus had enough political power, the terrible civil war ended and he became the sole ruler in the Roman Empire. Caesar's adopted son made Rome a conciliatory monarchy and stood behind his loyal soldiers. Since Augustus did not call himself emperor, nor did he have a corresponding title to king, he became very popular with the people.

A smart move, as it turned out in retrospect, because it did not harm his rank. From now on, Augustus' path to becoming a successful and philanthropic leader was paved.

Augustus troops successfully defeated everything, which eventually led to victory.
