Augustus (63 BC – AD 14) was the founder of the Roman Empire and the first Roman emperor from 27 BC until his death. In his youth, his great-uncle Julius Caesar named him as his primary heir, and after Caesar's assassination in 44 BC he inherited his estate and took his name. He seized power by marching on Rome in 43 BC, and he, Mark Antony and Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate. Competing ambitions tore the alliance apart, and Augustus was triumphant, taking imperial power. Augustus enlarged the Empire, but suffered a major setback in Germania. He protected Rome with a buffer of client states and secured peace with the Parthian Empire and the Kingdom of Kush.
