Caesar Augustus: Caesar Augustus, or earlier known as Octavian, was a military commander who later became the emperor of the Roman Empire. His reign lasted from 27 B.C.E. to 14 C.E.

With his distaste for dealing with the senate and extreme paranoia. It was here Tacitus references Tiberius mental state “Though three years had lapsed since the destruction of Sejanus, neither time, in treaties, nor sated gratification which have a soothing affect on others softened Tiberius or kept him from punishing doubtful or forgotten offenses as most flagrant and recent crimes”. Tacitus attributes Sejanus’ actions as part of the emperor’s mental state, but he seems to believe that Tiberius himself has caused this condition when he states “Although I have followed most historians in attributing the cause of his retirement to the arts of Sejanus, still, as he passed six consecutive years in the same solitude after that minister’s destruction, I am often in doubt whether it is not to be more truly ascribed to himself, and his wish to hide by the place of his retreat the cruelty and licentiousness which he betrayed by his actions. Some thought that in his old age he was ashamed of his personal appearance. He had indeed a tall, singularly slender and stooping figure, a bald head, a face full of eruptions, and covered here and there with

Parties, gambling, drinking, and more happens daily in the jewel of the desert. Much like the modern day jewel of the United States, ancient Rome also had a jewel of its own, known as Pompeii. In this city, much like Las Vegas, parties, gambling, drinking, and more happened every day around the clock; however, unlike Las Vegas, Pompeii was also a hub of trade and business.
Augustus was a extremely well known figure in history and that is because he was known for the “[p]eace within the empire [that] was counted [as] the greatest blessing,” (192.)

The fall of Rome was mainly because of plagues wiping out most of the population. The fall of the Han dynasty began from decentralized rule. However, outside invasions had an effect on the fall of both classical civilizations. Series of plagues began to hit the Rome Empire by the 2nd century. These plagues lowered the population drastically.
Eventually the Roman empire grew to a size that could no longer be easily maintained and outer provinces began to lack order. When this came to Diocletian’s attention, he decided it would be best to split rome into the East and West because it couldn’t be effectively ruled by one man anymore. He kept the eastern part to himself because it was richer in resources and he anointed Maximian with power over the west. This split maintained until a civil war broke out in 306 and Constantine claimed ultimate victory, bringing the empire together under the rule of one emperor. When Constantine passed away, his three sons fought for the reigns and ended up dividing the empire into three part until one son, Valentinian, came out as the victor.
This article, written by Stefano Rebeggiani, discusses about how the legend of the Dioscuri in the Roman Forum has a connection with Virgil's book called the "Aeneid" and the battle of Lake Regillus.

Rebeggiani said that "by the time the Aeneid was completed, the Forum Augustum only existed in the mind of its architects" (Rebeggiani, 54). Rebeggiani later discusses about the history of the Aedes Castorum and the Battle of Lake Regillus. The Aedes Castorium is creation began in 509 B.C. when King Tarquinius tried to recapture Rome since he was driven out by the Romans (Rebeggiani, 54).

It was far too big to be just ruled by one person so the emperor decided to split the empire into two parts. Lacking an heir, in 285 CE, shortly after securing the imperial throne for himself, he met an Illyrian officer named Miamian as Caesar in the west. Caesar, who would be promoted to Augustus one year later, immediately assumed the name Marcus Aurelius Valerius.
