Augustus was born with the given name Gaius Octavius but he took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Octavian) in 44BC after the assassination of his great-uncle Julius. He also has the honour of being Rome's first official emperor and is largely remembered for being a shrewd politician. It was Augustus that famously took on Antony and Cleopatra and won, as well as restoring peace after 100 years of civil war.
