1.Who is your favorite Roman emperor, and why?

My favorite [[Roman]] emperor is Augustus also named Octavius. Augustus was not the same kind of man like Caesar and Mark Anthony who in the end followed their heart instead of the wishes of the Roman people. Augustus, a business-like man, was gruff in manner and only was interested in money and power. He was not interested in romance or popular past-time enjoyments. Cleopatra tried to woo Augustus after her husband, Mark Anthony, died so that she could be confidant that she was safe from the Roman Empire. She knew the Roman people greatly disliked her. Augustus did not fall for Cleopatra’s charms as did [[Caesar]] and Mark Anthony. He did not want anything or anyone to get in the way of his job, which required much responsibility. Augustus was dedicated to his work as a dictator.
