Biography

Mentioned by FMS in her 1835 journal.

From Encyclopaedia Britannica: "first Roman emperor, following the republic, which had been finally destroyed by the dictatorship of Julius Caesar, his great-uncle and adoptive father. His autocratic regime is known as the principate because he was the princeps, the first citizen, at the head of that array of outwardly revived republican institutions that alone made his autocracy palatable. With unlimited patience, skill, and efficiency, he overhauled every aspect of Roman life and brought durable peace and prosperity to the Greco-Roman world."

His great-uncle and adoptive father was Julius Caesar. He was step-father/adopted father of Tiberius, second Roman emperor.
