Why was Augusta the most able emperor of rome?

Answer 1

Augustus managed to be not only the first Emperor, surviving civil war, but he also was one of the longest ruling. While wielding nearly total power, Augustus was careful to at least pretend he was not actually the sole ruler of the Empire. He cloaked his actions by paying token respect to the senate, having them legally give him his powers. He also took title such as "First Citizen" to emphasize he was merely a Roman citizen, albeit one of higher than normal ranking.

But his greatest claim as "ablest of the Emperors of Rome" would be in how he managed to maintain peace through the Empire, quelling civil war, encouraging public works, and running a fiscally sensible policy that left the Treasury with a significant surplus. And he did it while not neglecting his own public image, ensuring most of the Roman populace would look on him with not only respect, but genuine affection, even love.

Answer 2

Augustus was able to persuade the senate that he was the right choice as a leader for Rome, whilst trying to defeat M.Antony. The Senate were mostly against him at the battle of Actium, but after that victory it all changed. The Senate started to agree with all that he did, and eve when Augustus offered to hand in some of his powers, he ended up receiving more! lets just say he was a very intellectual leader of Rome, he knew what that consequences of all of his actions would be, (he was very calculating in that way). this any many other reasons where why he was considered clever. He was able to do all this and become an Emperor right after his 'father' (J.Ceasar) was assassinated for trying to do the very same thing! Augustus knew the importance of Propaganda in many forms, eg. art, poems, etc... he also created many reforms, social and religious, for the good of Rome, it also made it much easier for him to rule over the other provinces knowing Rome was more secure. he had many victories in battle as well. these are only a few short reasons as to why Augustus was considered 'clever'.
