| | Augustus |
 | | 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. |

| | The triumvirs then set in motion proscriptions in which three hundred senators and two thousand equites were deprived of their property and, for those who failed to escape, their lives, going beyond a simple purge of those allied with the assassins, and probably motivated by a need to raise money to pay their troops. | | | People were born and reached middle age without knowing any form of government other than the Principate. | | | He famously boasted that he "found Rome brick and left it marble". |
