Roman ?Leaders?

Augustus who's real name is Octavius was emperor of Rome after Caesar was stabbed to death. He ended a century of civil war. Then came the feared Octavius who was stepson of Augustus. Although he acted like he didn't want to become emperor, inside he was wanting the power that was being bestowed before him. Augustus had another member of his family named Germanicus who was part of the military. He had a son and everyone in that legion called him "Caligula" which is Latin for boot and everyone loved him. But when the army started to retaliate against Tiberius, Germanicus's son and wife were told to leave. When the men saw this they stopped fighting and this allowed them to come back.
