| | PHILIP IV. (FRANCE) - LoveToKnow Article on PHILIP IV. (FRANCE) |
 | | PHILIP V. would have been some signs of it. | | | The most notable of its first-fruits was the hideous persecution of the Templars (q.v.), which began with the sudden arrest of the members of the order in France in 1307, and ended with the suppression of the order by Pope Clement at the council of Vienne in 1313. | | | He had already persecuted and plundered the Jews and the Lombard bankers, and repeated recourse to the debasing of the coinage had led to a series of small risings. |

| | Roman Emperors - DIR Augustus |
| | Whether the oath was voluntary, as Augustus later claimed in his Res Gestae, or a more carefully orchestrated piece of political theater, Octavian could now claim to be the people's choice for the war against Cleopatra. | | | Augustus also regularized the organization and terms of service in the Roman navy and created the praetorian guard, a personal force which he discreetly and tactfully billeted in townships around Rome. | | | Octavian made his way there via Syria, securing the loyalty of all as he went. |

| | In the year 23, with Augustus back at Rome, there was a serious crisis involving a conspiracy against his life, led by Fannius Caepio and the consul of 23, a Murena. | | | The tribunician power came to be identified completely with the office of the princeps, and Augustus and his successors, on their coins and public documents, date the years of their reigns by it. | | | There is a conflict in the sources about his identity, and Dio puts the whole affair in 22, but the Fasti support the date of 23, and the consequence, that the adjustment made by Augustus to his constitutional position in that year was a reaction to the crisis of the conspiracy. |

| | Philip IV arrested Jews so he could seize their goods to accommodate the inflated costs of modern warfare, condemned by his enemies in the Catholic Church as his spendthrift lifestyle. | | | On October 13, 1307, what may have been all the Knights Templar in France were simultaneously arrested by agents of Philippe the Fair, to be later tortured into admitting heresy in the Order. | | | His reign marks the French transition from a charismatic monarchy–which could all but collapse in an incompetent reign–to a bureaucratic kingdom, a move towards modernity. |

| | But, despite all this, things were not the same for Livia after Augustus' death. | | | Augustus had already, in 17 BC (even before their father was dead), adopted Gaius and Lucius, the two oldest sons of Agrippa and Julia, and they were clearly intended as the princes of the new generation. | | | When a beloved great-grandson of Augustus died (a son of Germanicus, a toddler named Gaius), she saw to it that the child's statue was placed in his private quarters. |

| | Caesar Augustus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Augustus was deified soon after his death, and both his borrowed surname, Caesar, and his title Augustus became the permanent titles of the rulers of Rome for the next 400 years, and were still in use at Constantinople fourteen centuries after his death. | | | Augustus was granted the power of a tribune (tribunicia potestas), though not the title, which allowed him to convene the Senate and people at will and lay business before it, veto the actions of either the Assembly or the Senate, preside over elections, and the right to speak first at any meeting. | | | Also included in Augustus' tribunician authority were powers usually reserved for the Roman censor; these included the right to supervise public morals and scrutinize laws to ensure they were in the public interest, as well as the ability to hold a census and determine the membership of the Senate. |

| | Antony, Cleopatra, Augustus Overview |
| | Antony, Octavian could claim, had become the thrall of a depraved eastern monarch: he had "gone native" and (Octavian claimed) planned to reduce Rome to a mere subject state, transferring the capital of the empire to Egypt. | | | At this point the Senate was still unwilling to defy Antony too openly, but it did direct the current governor of Cisalpine Gaul, D. Junius Brutus Albinus (who had been involved in the conspiracy against Caesar), to maintain his position. | | | Tensions between Antony and Octavian began to reach a head in 35, when Antony formally repudiated Octavia, who had remained loyal to him despite the repeated humiliation to which he had subjected her. |

| | Augustus Caesar and His Role in the Pax Romana |
| | The one thing that Augustus did not plan well for was his successor. | | | Augustus remained in control of Rome because he was able to put forth an attitude that said he was only in power because the people of Rome wanted him to be. | | | Thanks to the huge amounts of wealth from Egypt that were kept by Augustus after the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra, Augustus was able to throw elaborate feasts, festivals and celebrations for the people of Rome, to further the notion that peace had well and truly been achieved. |

| | To compose his narrative, the Minstrel combines material he might have found in some chronicles, which report Richard's attempt to poison Philip‑Augustus, with some historically verifiable events, to produce the message that crime against the Capetians does not pay. | | | Instead, after marrying another sister of Philip Augustus, Henry Courtmantel died of an illness(22). | | | The rhetorical reworkings of the deaths of Henry and his son offer indirect support of Philip, but, at one point, another element on the Minstrel's agenda -- his hatred of ecclesiastical authorities -- leads him to support a figure whom the French king had opposed. |

| | Canadian Journal of History: Philip Augustus: King of France, 1180-1223 |
| | The special place that Philip Augustus holds in French history is due chiefly to his spectacular victory over France's mortal enemies at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, a triumph that secured the Capetian dynasty on the throne and laid the foundations of the modem French state. | | | This outstanding accomplishment was facilitated by Philip's able handling and transformation of royal finances (comprehensively analyzed in John Baldwin's masterful study from 1986, The Government of Philip Augustus, which Bradbury has, in effect, complemented with a political narrative). | | | For Philip, war, that pivotal activity of medieval potentates, was a business-like operation to achieve political and financial aims: it had to be done well but it did not have to be enjoyed. |

| | Although Antonius tried to make terms at the eleventh hour, Augustus forced him to commit suicide, and viewed his corpse. | | | When Augustus was assuming the gown of manhood, his senatorial tunic was ripped apart on both sides and fell at his feet, which some interpreted as a sure sign that the order of which the tunic was the badge would one day be brought to his feet. | | | Augustus was born just before sunrise on the ninth day before the Kalends of October in the consulship of Marcus Tullius Cicero and Gaius Antonius [Sept. 23, 63 B.C.], at the Ox-Heads in the Palatine quarter, where he now has a shrine, built shortly after his death. |

| | Rome: The Age of Augustus |
| | Augustus called himself "princeps," or "first" (from which we get the word, "prince"); his full title that he assumed was "first among equals." So, in language at least, nothing had really changed in Roman freedom and equality. | | | And since Augustus controlled Rome militarily and politically, he put the provinces in the hands of intelligent, less ambitious, and virtuous men; for the first time since Rome began to build its empire, the provinces settled down into peace and prosperity—this peace and prosperity would be the hallmark of the Age of Augustus. | | | His successors, however, would name themselves after their power, the "imperium," and called themselves "imperator." Augustus, however, was on a mission to restore order and even equity to the Empire, and so in many ways is considered the greatest of all these emperors. |
