The first was the Roman Republic, which lasted from 509 until 30 B. C. E. The second was the Roman Empire, which lasted from 30 B. C. E. until 476 C. E.  \nRome technically had an “empire,”in the sense that it had vast foreign lands under its control, during the time of the Roman Republic. But the term “Roman Empire” refers to the time period, beginning with Augustus, when Rome was ruled by emperors.  \nOctavian Becomes Augustus  \nOctavian was left as the sole ruler of Rome after his forces defeated those of Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium. The Roman Senate gave Octavian the name “Augustus,” meaning“most high.” In 23 B.C. E., Octavian, now referred to as Augustus, was made consul for life by the Senate. His other titles included Princeps, Imperator, and Pontifex Maximus.  \n“Princeps” means “first citizen,”and is the origin of the word “prince.”“Imperator,” meaning “successful general,” is the origin of the word“emperor.” The modern word “pontiff,”used to describe the Catholic pope today, comes from “Pontifex Maximus,” a title given to Augustus as chief religious leader of the Roman people.  \nAdditionally, Augustus was made a tribune. He had the power to call the  \nSenate, veto the Senate’s laws, and make laws himself.  \n1. List three titles given to Augustus.  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nPrimer inter pares  \nThe Latin phrase “primus inter pares” translates to “first among equals.”It reflects the desire of Augustus and later emperors to maintain the façade that they were elected officials rather than dictators. Being “first among equals” gave the illusion that an emperor was the most prestigious and important member of the Roman Senate, but that each senator was simultaneously equally important. In reality, the Roman emperors ruled with little input from anyone else.  \n2. Does the concept of “first among  \nequals”make sense to you? Why or why not?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nRome under Augustus—a Golden Age  \nAugustus attempted to reform public morals by promoting family life, an effort that was largely unsuccessful. He began the practice of declaring emperors gods, and of picking their own successors; he called Haley’s Comet the spirit of Caesar. Additionally, Augustus improved the empire’s infrastructure, encouraged  \nthe growth of business, established fire and police departments for Rome, created a strong monetary (money) system, and extended Roman citizenship to more and more provincials. He is alleged to have said that he “found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.” Jesus, the founder of Christianity, was born in the Roman province of Judea during the reign of Augustus.  \nWord Search Puzzle  \n\n| P\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>U\u003Cbr>B\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>Q | O\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>B | N\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>W\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>P | T\u003Cbr>U\u003Cbr>H\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>S | I\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>D\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>U | F\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>X\u003Cbr>G\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>C | E\u003Cbr>U\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>D\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>C | X\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>R\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>E | M\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>U\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>F\u003Cbr>B\u003Cbr>E\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>S | A\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>T\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>L\u003Cbr>M\u003Cbr>Y\u003Cbr>S | X\u003Cbr>A\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr","cbCainLhbjjLKEb8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainLhbjjLKEb8","pdf",1655690,21,"English","# What was the Roman Empire?\n## Octavian Becomes Augustus\n## Primer inter pares\n## Rome under Augustus—a Golden Age\n## Pax Romana\n## Roman Emperors after Augustus","[{\"question\":\"What are the two periods of Roman government described in the workbook?\",\"answer\":\"The workbook explains the Roman Republic (509 to 30 B.C.E.) and the Roman Empire (30 B.C.E. to 476 C.E.).\"},{\"question\":\"Who became emperor after Augustus, and what did the workbook say about his rule?\",\"answer\":\"After Augustus’ death, his stepson Tiberius became emperor.
