On March 15, 44 BC, Julius Caesar was assassinated by conspirators during a Senate session, fearing his potential to undermine the Roman Republic.
Without legal heirs, his will named his great-nephew, Gaius Octavian, as his successor. Octavian, later known as Augustus, faced a divided Rome and skillfully navigated political tensions, forming the Second Triumvirate with Mark Antony and Lepidus.
As alliances shifted, Antony's union with Cleopatra led to a dramatic conflict, culminating in the Battle of Actium where Octavian triumphed.
Eventually, Octavian became Rome's first emperor, Augustus, ushering in the Pax Romana and leaving a lasting legacy of peace and prosperity.
