	Augustus (honorific) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Augustus (plural augusti) is Latin for "majestic," "the increaser," or "venerable".
		Although the use of the cognomen "Augustus" as part of one's name is generally understood to identify emperor Augustus, this is somewhat misleading; "Augustus" was the most significant name associated with the Emperor, but it did not actually represent any sort of constitutional office until the 3rd century under Diocletian.
		In many ways, "augustus" is comparable to the British dignity of prince; it is a personal title, dignity, or attribute rather than a title of nobility such as duke or king.
