In chapter 11 we read that Julius Caesar was one of the most powerful generals. He had a major effect on Rome and was very well liked. He was admired for his bravery and skill in battle.

were determined to find out who killed THE GREAT Julius Caesar. They thought the might become heroes if the found who murdered him. It was a big change for everyone, and riots broke out. Rome was distraught. At the funeral Antony gave a speech at Caesars funeral which really fired up the romans to get the killer. Then in 42 BC Antony and Octavian defeated their opponents. Then after they defeated the opponents the rest of Caesars murders killed themselves.
Octavian returned back to Italy and Antony went east to fight Rome’s enemies.
Antony then married Octavian’s sister. Then after he divorced Octavian’s sister to divorced her and then married Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt. As you may know Octavian thought that was an insult, and that let to war. Then Antony was defeated, but then he fleeted back to Egypt with Cleopatra. Thats when they committed suicide because they did not want to be prisoner of Octavian. Octavian became Rome’s sole ruler and leader. He was a strong powerful leader and he had almost limitless power. He then in 27 BC unexpectedly gave his power up to the senate. He really didn't give up all his power. The senate gave him power and a new name, Augustus. Augustus means “revered one.” He really shaped roman republic and empire. After he took Rome onto an empire he had already had control over most of the Mediterranean world. Lots of people followed him . Then emperors expanded the empire. Some took over territories, and by the early AD 100’s the Romans had taken almost all over Gaul and Central Europe. Then they had conquered most of the island of Britain. They also had control over Asia Minor, eastern coast of the Mediterranean, Mesopotamia, and north African
coast. Although Augustus was a leader he was also played a major effect on roman history. He made improvements as in created a fire department and police force. He created these things for the people and for their safety. He also would build aqueducts and change and update old ones. Which increased roman water supply. He was Rome’s first major emperor. He changed Rome. He built monuments around Rome and built a new forum that help statues, monuments, and a fantastic temple for the god Mars.
