Augustus: Our Greatest Emperor
Our great emperor Augustus has passed and we must pay tribute to his great accomplishments. He became our emperor in the year 27 B.C. after the bloody civil war following the death of Julius Caesar. Despite being emperor he lived a remarkably simple life and despite having enormous wealth and power had the image of a hardworking father figure. In addition to being a hardworking man he made life better for the Roman people. He restored 82 of our temples to their former glory and built new statues, theatres, and a forum. He used to say "I found Rome a city of brick and left it a city of marble" and that he did. He established a police force and fire department to help protect us from fires and keep the criminals in check. He also helped improve our communication by building new roads which also improve travel. He truly was a great emperor and a great person. We will always remember him.
