!!!Augustus

b. Rome (Italy) (?), Sept. 23, 63 BC, 
d. Nola near Naples (Italy), Aug. 19, 14 A.D., first Roman Emperor. 
Original name Gaius Octavius; the Senate gave him the name "Augustus". 
His stepsons, Tiberius and Drusus the elder crossed the Alps annexing 
the  Regnum Noricum (the area which is now Austria) and thus extended 
the frontier of the Roman Empire from Italy to the Danube. The title 
"Augustus" was subsequently adopted by all emperors, through the 
Middle Ages to the modern era.
