His maternal great-uncle Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, and Augustus (Octavius) was named in Caesar's will as his adopted son and heir; as a result, he inherited Caesar's name, estate, and the loyalty of his legions. He, Mark Antony and Marcus Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate to defeat the assassins of Caesar. He ruled for 41 years. Augustus is considered by some one of the greatest leaders in human history (ref. Encyclopedia Britannica).
