The life of Augustus is historically important because his leadership marked out a new era in the story of the Roman world, an era that would see the expansion of the Roman Empire across the Mediterranean and beyond. However, the influence of the Roman Empire extended much farther than its territory and had a profound effect on the development of Western culture.
Moreover, the stories and legends that emanate from the Roman world have become part of the cultural consciousness of the Western world today. Our fascination with the Roman world is boundless; there are thousands of movies, books, plays, and video games that are inspired by ancient Rome. The stories of the lives of great Romans have, in turn, become stories and ideas that have been taken up by everyone from Shakespeare to the Star Wars franchise.
What is absolutely fascinating about the story of Augustus is the way that he masterminded his ascent to power by leading people to believe that power was the last thing he wanted, so that as a leader, he was willingly accepted—and often demanded—by the people. At the same time, he also proved indispensable to the Senate, whose job it was to check his power.
