What month in the year is named after the first Emperor of Ancient Rome?
Correct answer: August
Edmorgrimm
Augustus referred to himself as 'princeps' meaning 'first citizen'. As the Romans were traditionally sceptical of monarchs/kings/emperor's he refrained from displaying his power overtly, and deferred to the senate on many occasions. For these reasons he ruled for longer than most of those who followed him, see Nero, Caligula, Commodus, etc etc

First known as Octavian, later as Augustus Caesar
Kohen
For those who do not know, Julius Caesar was never a Roman emperor as many would believe, he was a ruler of the Roman republic and he helped to transition the republic into the Roman Empire with his death in 44 B.C. Then sometime in the 20’s B.C Julius’ adopted son Augustus became the first Roman emperor.

Player Suze Eckert, Wait just a minute my friend. I was Born in August, & statistics show that most people were born in August. So while you were friends and family were checking out, it was just making room for more people to come in.

Player Suze Eckert, agree! Was fired on Aug 5, 2009, from a job I'd had for 12 yrs. Because of ageism, was unemployed for more than 3 years.

bigjesterman, Julie? What happened to Julius?
WaldoLydeker
Whew! Dodged that bullet. His real name was Octavian and I'm glad they went with Augustus else confusion avoided with October. E.g., abbreviations commonly used instead of spelling the whole month out.
Player Suze Eckert
I hate the month of August. I have had many bad things happen, along with deaths of family members in the month of August. Infact, every year when August shows up, I just pray the month will go by quietly and uneventfully.
