Emp Watch: Augustus STILL in the house

Yikes, it's been a few decades since my last update! Same people in power though, as the same Emp has been ruler for a long time!
Here's what you may have missed:

• In XXVII BC Augustus made a monarchy system we call the principate.  Basically it means he gets all the power of Rome, including the army. 
• The man has made sure we'll never forget his pretty little face, since all our money has him on it! 
• He's been good to society, sponsoring poets. My kids love the stories that Horace writes! 
• Rome has a standing army! This is to ensure peace from those barbarians we keep hearing about in marketplaces. 

I don't know what he's going to do about a heir. I mean, Augustus is getting KIND OF OLD, and since he hasn't had a son maybe it'll be one of his nephews.
