How did Octavian’s rule serve as a transition from the Roman democracy to the conglomerate? Octavian was a genius. He was a political thinker on another position and is one of the topmost minds to ever live.
When Caesar failed he made Octavian his heir at law. This relinquishment gave Octavian the name of Caesar and also his legions.
With the legions under his command, he set about first defeating the remainder of Caesar’s cutthroats and also Mark Antony. By the end, he was the absolute sovereign of Rome.
I’m a recent and extremely amateur videotape maker but I just made a videotape on the rise of Octavian then
When Caesar had tried to make himself king- or commodity like it- he was assassinated. This was enough common as the Romans were really proud of the Democratic roots and they weren’t suckers of tyrannizers.
Octavian was far more important than Caesar could ever hope to be. So how did he do this and remain alive?
He purified his opposition beforehand in his reign. By the time he was completely in control of the conglomerate many opponents remained. By also his support among the people and legions was so strong it hardly signified
He ruled from the murk. He wasn’t king or oppressor- but rather was simply the “ Princeps ” or first citizen. He’d allow the Senate to bounce and kept choices running as ahead. From behind the scenes, he’d make it known how he wanted the vote to go and nothing would indeed be considered without his authorization. To the Romans, he sounded like the wise guiding hand that substantially kept to itself but in reality, he was in total control.
He was veritably patient. If he made a move to assume further power and entered pushback he’d yield incontinently and bide his time. He noway got into a conflict with the Senate or the people and this helped him steer clear of any problems.
The people, the Senate, and army loved him. This was enough support to keep him safe.
