Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Octavian was granted the title of Augustus by the Roman Senate in 27 BCE, making him the first Roman emperor, and this title became the most common way of referring to him. While Octavian was also referred to as Caesar (as he was the adopted son of Julius Caesar) and princeps (meaning "first citizen"), Augustus was the title most commonly associated with him. Rex, meaning "king," was a title that Octavian deliberately avoided using in order to maintain the appearance of restoring the Republic rather than establishing a monarchy.
