Timeline & Chronology of Augustus's Rise to Power

Source A: Excerpt from a Roman historian

'Augustus, born Gaius Octavius, was declared heir by Julius Caesar in 44 BC. After Caesar's assassination, he formed the Second Triumvirate in 43 BC. Over the next decade, he fought rivals such as Mark Antony and Cleopatra, culminating in his victory at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. By 27 BC, Augustus was granted the title 'Augustus' and became the first Roman Emperor.'

Source B: A modern historian's summary

'Augustus's rise was marked by political cunning, military skill, and strategic alliances. His ability to consolidate power after a period of chaos transformed Rome from a republic into an empire.'
