Thank you all for all the nice comments! Wow I did not expect to get so many likes and views. Thank you people!
Statistics on this video shocked me as well. 97% of views are males aged 18-34. I expected most views to be from the male group but 97% was unexpected.

“Augustus was a very great man, but he grew gradually into greatness. He did not possess Julius Caesar’s bravura and political genius (it was that genius, of course, which killed Caesar, for it made him incapable of compromise). He was a physical coward who taught himself to be brave. He was intelligent, painstaking, and patient, but could also be cruel and ruthless. He worked extraordinarily hard. He thought in the long term, achieving his aims slowly and by trial and error.”
Excerpt From: Anthony Everitt. “Augustus.”

Rome's creator Bruno Heller said that he had every intention of expanding the show for 5 consecutive Seasons. -Season 01 was to be about Julius Caesar's rise and fall. -Season 02 was to be about Marc Antony running the Republic and Octavian bonding with Agrippa. It would've concluded with the death of Brutus and the formation of the Second Triumvirate. -Season 03 was to be entirely about the Second Triumvirate with Simon Woods' Octavian and James Purefoy's Marc Antony having more screen time. It would've concluded with Marc Antony's departure from Rome to Egypt. -Season 04 was to be about Marc Antony's demise and Octavian's rise to power as Caesar Augustus. It would've ended with Octavian assuming total control of Rome and it's Provinces essentially forming the Roman Empire. -Season 05 was to be about how Augustus ruled as Imperator and most importantly his interactions with Judea and Herod (you can clearly see the show was building up to this when Herod made an appearance in Season 02). The season was essentially gonna be the final season and it was to end with Augustus passing away and the rise of the Messiah. Bruno Heller said he had written the necessary parameters and while he was filling the narrative cavities of Season 02, HBO called him up and said that it was to be the last season. So Bruno had to compress the entire storyline into one season. HBO really fucked up on this one.

That time period was so foundational for the next two millennia. So much of today still follows from Ceaser Augustus' Rome. The Calendar. The Christian Religion Augustus began creating. The fall of the Hebrew Temple, which even today - considering ALL Elites and Zionists are obsessed with Rebuilding the Temple - the end of the Tribes of Judea and Solomon Temple, is clearly one of the most prominent Religious Historic Events ever. Even the story of Jesus, is actually very similar to that of Ceasers combined with Roman Legionaries God, Mithras. Rome was the first empire to really take from everywhere and combine it into a clearly techbologically superior Civilisation - even if it was built upon War and Blood. But the biggest reason why Rome is so popular today - is because they showed massive humility in honoring, respecting, and in some cases even adopting all the many types of Greek Culture and Traditions. Instead of having a massively overinflated ego and just throwing away the quality of prior civilisations - the Romans respected the Greeks and built ontop of the already-existing Empire. From Cosmology, to Biologcy, to Poetry, Shakespeare, Psychologically.

Augustus built his empire out of blood and war, but I think he is one of the few dictator in history who managed to stay relatively uncorrupted by power and laid the groundwork for his empire to endure. It paved the way for the Flavian Dynasty and The Five Good Emperors which ensured over a century of peace and prosperity. Imagine, traveling from Britain to Egypt and you will still be in Rome. He isn’t a saint, but he is certainly one of the most fascinating rulers in history, to have wielded so much power that his legacy echo across time.

Caesars name translated into the german word for emperor, "Kaiser" (because in latin you would say the C as a K, so Caesar actually sounds like Kaiser already). The title of Tsar is also formed from that. Charlemagne, Otto I., Peter the Great, Napoleon, Wilhelm I...they all took on the mantle of Caesar, following his footsteps. Caesar (and Augustus) paved the way for Europe, obviously without ever considering themselves as European. And Caesars murders? There is a reason the divine comedia places them as the arch-traitors, on the same level as Judas.

Not really. Although Augustus was perhaps Rome's greatest emperor, his successors essentially ran it into the ground (over a period of 500 years, but nonetheless). The Republic was sick and perhaps on its last legs, but the deliberation it offered to policy makers made sure wise, thoughtful, and thorough policies were more-so passed than under the Emperors.

Considering that the Empire he built lasted 1500 years, I'd say he was wildly successful. And then to say that his successors ran it into the ground when many of them were just as talented of rulers as he was.

Octavian succeeded where Caesar failed. He ensured he was surrounded by capable men loyal to him alone, manipulated his enemies, restored peace and prosperity to Rome, changed virtually every aspect of Roman life, and forged an empire out of a republic. Others underestimated him at their peril. Even in modern times, the influence of his work remains, in everything from architecture to politics to language. Few figures have had such an immense and lasting impact. Truly, he is one of the greatest and most accomplished leaders in world history.

There's an interesting little tale in connection with Rome, and Game of Thrones: Apparently, executives at HBO were starting to think what could possibly be the next Game of Thrones (in terms of revenue) a few years ago. Supposedly one executive came into a meeting with a whole stack of books and dumped them onto the conference table, saying "We should do this next! And there's enough material here that we could do each novel in the series as a seperate season on its own." The series of novels he dumped onto the table was Colleen McCullough's "Masters of Rome" series, which covers the entire period of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Republic, starting with Gaius Marius and ending with Octavian becoming Emperor. Hopefully they will take up his suggestion.

@@bazzatheblue It was in fact the same "skinny little shit". The Germans ambushed Varus at the Teutoburg Forest and destroyed three legions. On hearing the news Augustus, by then a 70 year old man, started banging his head against the wall and shouted over and over, "Quintili Vare, legiones redde!" Which is quite literally, "Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!"

He was actually one if not the greatest leader in human history. It's actually a historical fact that tyranny is the most effective form of government but ironically only in the hands of a select few. Most are too weak and are corrupted by absolute power. Octavian (later known as Augustus) was one such rare individual who could wield such power and not he destroyed by it. He literally saved Rome and built the Empire. This video was awesome lol

It may be an interesting experiment to create a serie in speculative history when Marcus Antonius had been Caesar's heir as he expected to be. It would probably be another century of cival war, with the Crisis of the Third Century taking place already in the 1st century. Marcus Antonius did not have the slightest skill to construct the illusion of republican rule like Augustus did collecting all kind of executive powers while only bearing the title of Princeps or First Man ( among equals). Marcus Antonius only knew how to rule with brute force.

You know, people always paint him as some sort of tyrant. By today's standard, yes. He would be. But this was over 2,000 years ago. A very different time and place. Octavian and Julius were loved by the people. Sure, they did some terrible acts, used their charisma to fulfill their own ambitions. But, history has always painted them as loved by the people. Not only that, but the infrastructure that Augustus built was brilliant. It brought prosperity to the people. As he said, and the top comment said. He came to Rome a city of bricks, and left it a city of Marble. There is a reason he was loved by the people. By their standards, he was one of their best leaders.
