Octavian takes over after Julius teaser at the age elf 18. He was Julius's grandnephew! Octavian forms his own triumvirate, this is the second one. One of Octavian's allies turn on him and they become rivals, mark Anthony. Mark teams up with Cleopatra and Octavian defeats them.  People then saw Octavian as "unchallenged" and he was given the name "Augustus" also know as  exalted one. At that point Rome was an empire, not a republic. He ran as an emperor  for 40 years, and he began Pax Romana. After all of his great accomplishments, Octavian eventually died of natural causes. After Octavian, emperors starts to rule. Some of them were good and some were horrific. Then Tiberus started to rule, he was a great general but he wasn't as great as emperor. HE eventually exiled himself from Rome after his son died. Then Caligula ruled, he was cruel and was assented because the people wanted to make the republic again, but that failed. Then it was Claudius, he might've has cerebral palsy. He ruled well, but he died from poising. Finally, it was Nero. Nero wanted to build Rome to be better after the fire in 64. He spent too much money and not many people were fond of him.
