Turn your wounds into wisdom” Oprah Winfrey.
This quote relates a lot with the life of Augustus Caesar since that Augustus lost his father when he was four. That didn't stop him getting up and helping out with the citizens of rome.I honestly think that Augustus was the best roman emperor in the history of rome, because he was careful not to call himself king because the romans hated that title, if he would’ve said it he would possibly kick out of his throne, Small details makes a big difference.Augustus left the senate in place and created a well trained civil service to enforce the laws that are enforced.
Augustus also took control of the economy . He needed the number the number of people in the empire to record all those who owed taxes. He setup a postal service and issued new coins to make trade much more efficient, put the people with no jobs to work on temples, to build roads, and the rest would work on farming the land. All of these great organized events were great and even work for 200 years. But still the romans always thought what would we do or our people do without the emperor.
The romans did not accept the idea of passing your authority to your son because they thought the son would be ten times worse and they were right for example Caligula, he appointed his best horse as a counsel , like why don't you just give it to a five year old who is still learning their abc’s than a horse thats only walks, sleeps, and eats. Julius Caesar appointed his great nephew instead of his own son, just a stroke of luck made Augustus famous for his leadership and even help John Green write his novel that now is a popular motion picture.
