Answer 1

The correct answer is **Caesar Augustus**. He was originally known as Octavian and became the first Roman emperor after the Senate granted him extraordinary powers, effectively marking the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Julius Caesar's role was significant in the events leading to this change, but it was Augustus who ultimately established the empire.
