It is the year XXVII BC and our very first emperor has just replaced the Roman Republic with a new monarchy! We hope that he will bring long-term peace! Personally I still don’t trust these Romans, Jews all the way. We just need to keep waiting for the coming Messiah....
Anyways, here is a bit of history about our new ruler Augustus:
We all remember his good ol’ great uncle, Julius Caesar, and his bloody assassination. Octavian was named as heir, and in XXXI BC defeated Antony and Cleo at the Battle of Actium, and became the ruler of Rome fair and square.
That’s when Octavian changed his name to what we know him as today, the serene Augustus.
Well wishes to him... Glad I just don't have to pay taxes!
