Events

Politics and world events

  • January 13th : Octavian gives back to the Roman Senate and the people all privileges he had been granted during the Civil War , thus formally restoring the republican order. In return, the Senate, the representative body of the Rome elite ( weakened by the fighting since Caesar's death) , gives him authority over all provinces that are still unsettled .
  • January 16 : The Senate gives Octavian the title of Augustus . From then on he went down in history as the first Roman emperor with this name . The Roman Republic is thus inconspicuously transitioning to the principate , although it is formally restored.
  • Octavian receives proconsular authority (authority over the unsettled provinces); in this way he secured military command without affecting the republican tradition.
  • Administrative reform of Augustus, who set up new provinces in the Roman Empire.
