#443 – Gregory Aldrete: The Roman Empire – Rise and Fall of Ancient Rome

I would really like to know what Romans of his time thought. Like if you were alive at that moment, would you honestly believe that oh, okay, we've got this guy Augustus, but he's brought peace. He's just kind of keeping in charge for a while until things settle down. We've just had 100 years of civil war. I think we still have a republic. Or would you say, nah, we have a king now?
