Who was the first emperor of rome and how long was he emperor for?
Octavian/Augustus was the first emperor of Rome and his rule lasted for 41 years, from 27 BC to 14 AC.
How did Octavian take power from Marc Antony?
Octavian took power from Marc Antony because Antony divorced Octovia for Cleopatra and Octavian saw it as an insult. So Octavian set war on Antony but he escaped back to Egypt with Cleopatra. There the two committed suicide so they wouldn't be taken as prisoner by Octavian. Octavian then became Rome's sole rule.
What was Cleopatra's largest obstacle?
Cleopatra's largest obstacle was Octavian. She had ambitions to rule in Rome but did not know the character of the Roman people. Octavian personified Roman character, ambition and determination. He was an obstacle that she could not overcome.
Why was cleopatra important to rome?
Cleopatra was not so much important to Rome as she was to Octavian. She was the tool that Octavian was able to use against Antony and to wage the war against him. By accusing Cleopatra of corrupting Antony, Octavian was able to get the senate to declare war against her. In reality this war was against Antony for sole rule, but Octavian had to avoid all semblance of a civil war and Cleopatra and her conduct with Antony was the perfect opportunity for him.
Why did Octavian commit suicide?
Octavian did not commit suicide. He was the first Emperor of Rome and lived a long and happy life.
