Marc Antony briefly became the sole ruler of Rome after Julius Caesar was *murdered in 44BCE. Antony was one of Caesar’s closest advisors, a powerful *general and he had the support of many Roman people after he gave a stirring speech after Caesar’s death. Caesar’s will surprised Antony and all of Rome when he named his grandnephew Octavian as heir. The eighteen year old boy inherited not only Caesar’s property, but the right to call himself Caesar. Octavian formed the Second Triumverate with Marc Antony and Lepidus, but Octavian forced Lepidus into retirement and Antony committed *sooooicide in Egypt after losing a civil war with Octavian. Octavian did not take the title of *dictator and was careful to treat both the Senate and the army with care. His political skills allowed Octavian to remain in power until his death in 14CE. In 27BCE, Octavian arranged for the Senate to grant him the honorific title of Augustus. Augustus means “the respected one.” Historians generally refer to Octavian as Caesar Augustus after that. Caesar Augustus built Rome into the most powerful city in the world. The Roman army was powerful enough to protect Roman citizens from the tribes that lived beyond the borders of the empire. Historian Edward Gibbon later described the two hundred year period of relative tranquility that began with the rule of Caesar Augustus as the Pax Romana, or the Peace of Rome.
I keep getting this error message: "It appears that your answer contains either a link or inappropriate words. Please correct and submit again!"
And I think it's because of the words regarding death. So I am intentionally misspelling the word for taking one's own life.
