He took the Roman Republic and converted it into UsefulNotes/TheRomanEmpire and presided over Pax Romana, an extended reign of peace in one of the greatest powers in world history. He even managed to get people to keep calling the eighth month "August" ''after'' he died, a renaming made in honor of his his defeat of UsefulNotes/MarkAntony and UsefulNotes/CleopatraVII and annexation of [[AncientEgypt Ptolemaic Egypt]].
