| | Roman Emperors - DIR Livia (Wife of Augustus) |
 | | The claim, however, that she did not meddle in his affairs is disingenuous. | | | But, despite all this, things were not the same for Livia after Augustus' death. | | | When Gaius and Lucius died (AD 4 and 2), it would naturally be hinted that Livia had a hand in their deaths since their removal left the way clear for Tiberius. |

| | Aryeh Kaplan also reminds us that the Sephir Yetzirah is one of the primary ancient astrological texts, which strongly implies to me that its earliest form would have shaped a "world standard norm" from which future traditions would be drawn or against which later redactions (i.e., commentaries) would be contrasted. | | | This version has been confirmed in its authenticity and antiquity by no less a light than the eighteenth century Rabbi Eliahu, Gaon of Vilna, whose honorific, "The Gra," was given to his version. | | | Recent Hebrew scholarship from Aryeh Kaplan's The Sephir Yetzirah, published in 1990, highlights the reasons why the Gra version has to be at the root of the Hebrew alphabet mysteries (see the "Kabbalah/ Cabbalah" essay). |

| | Augustus (honorific) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This concentration of powers became the model by which all subsequent Emperors ruled Rome in constitutional theory (in practice this systematic and sophisticated theory gradually lost any resemblance to reality in the III and IV centuries, when the Emperors became rather more reminiscent of oriental despots than "first among equals"). | | | Although the use of the cognomen "Augustus" as part of one's name is generally understood to identify the Emperor Augustus, this is somewhat misleading; "Augustus" was the most significant name associated with the Emperor, but it did not actually represent any sort of constitutional office. | | | Although the name signified nothing in constitutional theory, it was recognised as representing all the powers that Caesar Augustus had accumulated. |

| | Venus Genetrix was claimed as the ancestral goddess of Augustus, since her son was Aeneas, the legendary founder of the Julian House. | | | Thus Augustus became, in effect, the first Roman emperor (imperator), but he could claim that his power was legitimately bestowed by the Roman Senate and people. | | | This image of Augustus as divine imperator is also found in the Prima Porta portrait, which represents the emperor as the savior of the Roman world. |

| | Since the emperor Augustus had no sons, he adopted his grandsons, Gaius and Lucius Caesar, the sons of his only child Julia and his old friend and close associate Marcus Agrippa. | | | Although Augustus was at least sixty years old when this coin was issued, his portrait on the obverse remains that of the youthful Augustus. | | | The earliest year in which this coin could have been issued was 2 B.C., when Augustus received the new honorific title pater patriae, father of the country; almost all emperors would henceforth receive the title upon coming into power. |
