Gaio Giulio Cesare Augusto (in latino: Gaius Iulius Caesar Augustus; nelle epigrafi: C·IVLIVS·C·F·CAESAR·IIIVIR·RPC; Roma, 23 settembre 63 a.C. – Nola, 19 agosto 14), nato come Gaio Ottavio Turino (Gaius Octavius Thurinus) e meglio conosciuto come Ottaviano o Augusto, è stato il primo imperatore romano dal 27 a.C. al 14 d.C. Nel 27 a.C. egli rimise le cariche nelle mani del senato; in cambio ebbe un imperio proconsolare che lo rese capo dell'esercito e il Senato romano, dietro suggerimento di Lucio Munazio Planco, gli conferì il titolo onorifico di Augustus il 16 gennaio 27 a.C., cioè "degno di venerazione e di onore", e il suo nome ufficiale fu da quel momento Imperator Caesar Divi filius Augustus (nelle epigrafi IMPERATOR·CAESAR·DIVI·FILIVS·AVGVSTVS). Augusto volle trasmettere l'immagine di sé come principe pacifico e quella di Roma come trionfatrice universale attraverso un uso accorto delle immagini, l'abbellimento della città di Roma, la tutela degli intellettuali che celebravano il principato, la riqualificazione del senato e dell'ordine degli equites. La storiografia contemporanea si è occupata dell'eredità storica di Augusto, soprattutto dopo l'intervento durante il ventennio fascista in cui la propaganda di regime celebrava Augusto per l'opera pacificatrice e la creazione di uno stato universale che preludeva alla fondazione dell'Impero italiano. Lo stesso Augusto ha voluto lasciare di sé un'immagine eroica nelle Res gestae, consapevolmente sostenne Virgilio in questa celebrazione nell'Eneide: durante la sua vita Augusto aveva evitato di attribuirsi appellativi divini, ma subito dopo la sua morte fu subito considerato figlio di Dio. L'attributo "Augustus" indica un riconoscimento religioso e in seguito ebbe anche quello di "Princeps". Alcuni storici come Seneca il Vecchio, Lucio Anneo Seneca, Sallustio, Svetonio e Appiano indicano anche le proscrizioni, la conquista astuta del potere e la politica autocratica di Augusto. Augusto contribuì enormemente a fare di Roma la meraviglia dei secoli. Rimodellò l'Urbe lasciando la frase: "ho trovato una città di mattoni, ne lascio una di marmo". In architettura Roma arrivò ad uno splendore elevatissimo. Dal punto di vista amministrativo, le riforme di Augusto furono importanti e durature. Attribuì le province non pacificate a legati imperiali scelti da lui stesso, lasciando le altre a proconsoli di rango senatorio; tutti però rispondevano all'imperatore. Augusto tenne per sé l'Egitto, sotto il governo di un suo prefetto. Riformò il sistema fiscale e monetario. Riorganizzò l'amministrazione della città di Roma, attribuendo ad alti funzionari statali la cura dell'urbanistica, la responsabilità dell'approvvigionamento alimentare e la gestione delle acque.
