	From a Republic to Emperor Augustus
		Rome, he believed, had created safety, Rome was the light of the world, and the Roman Empire was the work of the gods.
		At first, Augustus planned to check the influx of people into Rome from the countryside by cutting people off Rome's welfare, but he abandoned this and instead introduced a new system of control and distribution of food, and by around 5 BCE the dole increased to 200,000, roughly twenty percent of Rome's population.
		Augustus tried to persuade one of the foremost writers of his time, the poet Horace, to create a work comparable to Homer's Iliad, that would inspire Romans to the worship of the state's traditional gods and give the Romans pride in their history and their race.

	Rome: The Age of Augustus
		Augustus called himself "princeps," or "first" (from which we get the word, "prince"); his full title that he assumed was "first among equals." So, in language at least, nothing had really changed in Roman freedom and equality.
		His successors, however, would name themselves after their power, the "imperium," and called themselves "imperator." Augustus, however, was on a mission to restore order and even equity to the Empire, and so in many ways is considered the greatest of all these emperors.
		And since Augustus controlled Rome militarily and politically, he put the provinces in the hands of intelligent, less ambitious, and virtuous men; for the first time since Rome began to build its empire, the provinces settled down into peace and prosperity—this peace and prosperity would be the hallmark of the Age of Augustus.

	Augustus's Biography, first emperor of Rome
		Augustus (63 BC-AD 14), first emperor of Rome (27 BC-AD 14), who restored unity and orderly government to the realm after nearly a century of civil wars.
		Originally named Gaius Octavius, Augustus was born in Rome on September 23, 63 BC; he was the grandnephew of Julius Caesar, whom he succeeded as ruler of the Roman state.
		In 27 BC the Roman Senate gave Octavian the title Augustus ("consecrated," or "holy") by which he is known, and his reign has often been considered a dyarchy because of the Senate's participation in it.

		Shortly before the fall of Tiberius's Praetorian Prefect, Sejanus, in A.D. 31 he was summoned to join Tiberius at his villa on Capri, where he remained until his accession in A.D. In the interim, his two brothers and his mother suffered demotion and, eventually, violent death.

	AN ABRIDGED HISTORY OF ROME - PART I - VI - AUGUSTUS
		A gigantic statue of Octavian himself (or rather Augustus as he was then called) stood on a base to the left of the temple: the statue is lost, but the base retains the shape of its left foot.
		So augustus was a title having a religious, rather than a military (imperator) or political (king) meaning; Octavian chose to be referred to as Augustus, because he thought this title would have made his almost absolute power better accepted, both in Rome and in the remotest provinces of the empire.
		In this summary Augustus included Ara Pacis Augustae, an altar consecrated to him and to the periods of peace achieved during his rule.

	The Battle That Stopped Rome: Emperor Augustus, Arminius, and the Slaughter of the Legions in the Teutoburg Forest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The book was a (ladybird version) history of the Roman Republic/Empire, life of Augustus and his family, socio-economic conditions along with a slight review of archaeological finds in the area.
		I had not read a great deal about the battle before picking up Wells' book, but I gather that the author is offering a revisionist history based on his interpretation of the archaeology at the battle site, which was finally located in 1987 at Kalkriese in northern Germany.
		I think you will find "The Battle That Stopped Rome" to be interesting and thought-provoking, as long as you have not already formed strong opinions about what happened on that long-ago day in 9 AD.
