Emperor Augustus
An educated and wise ruler with an eye for the people. Caesar's proud adopted son, fascinating personality, gained great prestige in the Roman Empire at the age of 18.
Augustus transformed the Roman Empire into a peaceful monarchy. He was neither emperor, nor did he possess the title of king. However, this cleverly thought-out move did not harm his high rank in the slightest. On the contrary, it made him even more popular.

It paved his way to success and made him appear as a sympathetic and philanthropic ruler. When the terrible civil war came to an abrupt end and the population of Rome had to struggle with famine and other disasters, the turning point came. The fierce battles were successfully put down by Augustus' troops and finally led to the longed-for victory. Ruler Augustus was said to have a great sense of humor and an extraordinary talent for languages.
Allegedly, his eyes possessed a radiant energy and captivated people. Forbidden dice games and vicious parties were his very personal passions, which he indulged in extensively. The time came when Augustus retired from his political office and transferred power to his son Tiberius.
