Rome has had many leaders, from triumphant hero’s to tyrants without mercy, but the one thing that all these leaders had in common is that in some way they had shaped or influenced Rome.

No other Roman king had such a massive influence on Rome or the world. Constantine the great was known for converting to Christianity and making Christianity into Romes national religion.

The Achievements of the Divine Augustus presents multiple examples of Augustus both expanding and improving Rome, effectively creating the great Roman Empire. From his relationship to Julius Caesar, it is reasonable to infer that Augustus was raised to respect and venerate the power of the head of Rome, if not the ideals of the Republic. Then after the assassination of Julius Caesar, Augustus (then Octavian) stepped up, and by nineteen years old, he had already, “…raised an army by means of which I liberated the Republic…” With his use of words like “liberation”, it is evident that Augustus considers himself somewhat of a savior, or hero of Rome.
